I misspoke when I said "organized crime" I really meant "italian organized crime".

What I'm saying is because they (the HA, or bikers in general) have much higher visibility and because they try to control turf, they are perceived as much more immediate threat to the public at large (by the public). Most Canadians aren't even aware that the Rizzuto organization exists, and fewer could probably name the Siderno Group; but you can bet every single one has heard of the Hells Angels.

They are easier to bust, the public is far more aware of them, so the police tend to go for that low hanging fruit. Most bikers are committing street level crime. Yeah, they make bank, and yes, they are very powerful in some Canadian cities. I didn't mean to insinuate that they don't fall under the umbrella of "organized crime", they do, but let's be honest, they're basically street gangs on motorcycles.
