Outlaw Bikers are social outlaws; there is a contingent of professional criminals within, but most bikers, aside from user amount of narcotics violations and barroom-brawl style assaults, work jobs and raise families. This alone has made it very difficult for the government to dis-assemble. Read Scott Burnstein's blog and you'll become aware of many arrests and informants. The government - FBI - is now prodding Australia, New Zealand and LE in other countries to create laws that would liquidate the biker franchise - that is their colors. Once camaraderie via the logo begins to fade, so will the "brotherhood"; same thing with prison gangs - isolate so they can't organize, recruit and train.

It's important to understand the government is not targeting the bikers for the criminality as it is on a small scale - yes, very small. They are targeting groups that live outside societal norms; that is, anyone that does not Need the government. Do you believe the FBI targets survival groups to truly uncover the instances of sexual abuse? The sexual abuse is to get the general public buy-in; what the government is targeting is self-sufficiency.

The Endangered Species Act in NW U.S. to get those loggers out: can't have a self-sufficient society without tolls so we can surveil you.
