Canada has been leading the pack in the public display of gang issues. In that sense, quite a few provinces and municipalities have what are called anti-patch laws. Right now the Saskatchewan one is going before a court of appeal, precisely because the Hells Angels argue that it is unconstitutional. So we'll see how those laws go. I think overall they'll be supported and sustained, because municipalities, provinces, and other jurisdictions have a right.
It goes back to what I was saying about thinking outside the box. Those kinds of laws can be very effective. For one thing--excuse my language--they piss off the bikers immensely, but they actually have a very strong effect.
Unlike some of my colleagues, I don't think banning is very effective, and I can explain why later if you like. But when most gang members are arrested and charged, even if they haven't yet been convicted, the stipulations stop them from associating. It's called non-association. That's also very effective, because when you arrest a hundred Hells Angels members and suddenly they can't talk to each other or anybody connected with them, you effectively paralyze the gang, at least for the period of the trial. So there are creative ways like that in which Canada has led the way, and perhaps the federal government could coordinate it in a stronger fashion.
