      Its kind of amazing. The entire criminal justice system runs while a well-oiled machine when it comes to convicting drug crime. Any drug crime, the whole system works in perfect harmony, like it was made for the purpose.
      But sex crimes? Political corruption? White collar crime? Suddenly, the justice system grinds to a halt. The justice system is totally ineffective when it comes these crimes.
      98% of perpetrators of violent SA never a see a day in jail. But you better pray you're not a destitute drug addict, because the full weight of the law will come down on you.

    If I recall correctly, one HA member refused to believe "Bird" was an undercover agent until he took the stand to testify, cuz he considered him a close friend. The book is 100% worth a read.

      I used to get my gear via them in the 1980's. They invited another group of bikers out into a forest for a "chat" over a stabbing. This was in england. There was a newspaper story about some one being shot in the legs with a shot gun. They did not mention the meat clever incident. i got a phone call about going fishing at the docks. We drove srtaight through the gates unchallenged, directly to a shipping container which was cordoned off and there was a customs man there with a handgun guarding it. i was that non badged clean cut guy you are talking about. If they wanted those guns, all they had to do was put their cards on the table.

He wanted the glory of being in the Hells Angels and at the same time make himself out to be some kind of hero cop who bravely sacrificed himself to uphold the “law”. He didn’t care that he betrayed his own family, otherwise he would have never taken that stupid undercover assignment which turned out practically nothing.

    The Hells Angels story about how you managed to infiltrate the club is one of the most incredible stories I’ve ever seen. Very few people would have the necessary skills to handle playing a role like that. It’s not like the Hells Angels aren’t cautious and aware that law enforcement is always trying to get in. Just insane to even try it. I can’t imagine how stressful and scary it must have been at times.

They admitted themselves that they were never as crazy as the cops and media made them sound, but they appreciated all the free advertising.

    around the late 70s early 80s my dad was a mechanic and loved bikes, was driving on the freeway and saw a guy on the side with his bike broken down and was a hells angel. my dad was always friendly to help anyone his entire life and helped this guy get his bike running again. afterwards the guy pulled a gun out and said you gotta come with me and meet some people to make sure your legit and not some undercover. my dad went and they found out pretty quick he was just a regular guy. he ended up hanging out with them alot. he had some sort of vest, i know it wasnt a official but i think it was the ones they give people in "Training" or new members for him to wear when he was around. he went to alot of their parties mainly or just rode for fun with them. he said alot of stuff he saw he didnt want to tell me. he said women were anyones women. at least the onces he experienced. i know there is ones that there are hands off on. around the time i was born they had a big raid in the chapter in our city and he said all the ones he knew were leaving and going to the california chapter to get away from the heat. so my dad burned the vest he had and never went back to anything like that. i would ask why didnt you keep the vest. this was in the 80s when i was wearing jean jackets with heavy metal patches all over them thinking thats the coolest thing. he said it was like wearing a target and if the wrong people ever found it he could get killed. didnt even want anyone to find it ever in his closet. he also didnt own a bike at the time, he had one when he was younger and crashed them. he was actually a horrible rider nearly died once lol. but he said when he was around the angels that he knew they always had a spare bike he could ride with them. they were very giving. weather that was to course him or if they just liked him i dunno. he would help others tune their bikes or fix them. i worked with my dad as a mechanic as i got older and thats just how he was. we had our own family business and often if he saw someone who worked for us or a friend of a friend having issues he would just go over there and start working on their stuff for them and never charged them and would either fix it or tell them what they needed to fix it. sometimes we would spend 14-16 hour days at our shop it was exhausting. time to him didnt matter, he practically lived at work. but he also provided for his kids from his first wife, me, my 2 adopted sisters, and then his 3rd wife he took care of my step bro and step sis and when my step sis had a kid he took care of her kid as well. a few years ago he died broke and crippled with a caine. he only had a trailer and a half paid car. i sold the trailer for 10k and paid the car off with it and kept it.

    I've heard similar stories from former undercover officers who worked on cases against the Hell's. In the end it leads to nowhere. An officer can spend well over 2 decades investigating and building up "a case" and then it all gets thrown out of court. They have good lawyers. My old business law professor in college had been a lawyer for them during his younger years. Nowadays the Hell's are mostly involved in money laundering. Where I live it's now illegal for them to wear their patches in public. Just wearing a jacket can land them in prison. So they have gone underground like an SOB. All of their club houses have been demolished. Another thing this guy doesn't mention is that they lure young men into the club through the use of younger woman. The younger women will pretend to just run across them and invite them to a party, "Oh, it's just a party, etc." They're prospecting when they do that. Any ways, I never understood what the big deal was about them. Never cared either. As for this former cop, the whole system is corrupt. He found that out the hard way. I bet law enforcement wasn't there to protect him nor his family after the SHTF. Obviously someone from the inside ratted him out. His fellow gang members were probably more loyal to him then his brothers in blue.

    It’s a good book, and reading it got me interested in other motorcycle gang books.

But it's the same as how he said the battles don't usually happen in public. They arnt trying to get arrested. Depending on where he lived not getting caught could be pretty hard. So loss of money, possibility of jail time, and in return you get revenge. It's a terrible business model. At the end of the day all these criminals are just businessmen.

      @@No-One-of-Consequence Well I'm everything except a left winger. My whole country has gone to sh-t because of the left. The only point I'm trying to make is that this guy makes it seems The Netherlands is perfect and there is no problem at all which is false. And by the way you are argumenting it seems you are the left wing nutjob. Because instead of objective criticism you just play it on the man and shout insults at me. Typical socialist scumbag.

      I bet it's far easier to control when both prostitution and drugs are more decriminalized. US cops love looking like heros, but they're just "treating" problems of their own creation. When I say their own, I mean them and the law, since they work in tandem and generally support things like rampant guns and treating drug addicts and prostitutes harshly. More civilized countries get to focus on real crimes rather than hunting their own citizens for doing stuff that people are always going to do.

      yeah its really admirable to pretend to be someone you arent to try and catch people doing things that shouldnt be illegal in the first place. The fbi are the real criminals here, and the sad thing is that until it affects you, you wont believe it.

      Because undercover work is mostly a waste of money. But some really enjoy pulling it off. The longer it goes on is what they get to brag about.

    A lot of people forget that people who join the hells angels more often than not don’t join it to commit crimes, they do it to ride, to meet other people like them, and be part of a community that shares a hobby. It’s not all bad, and like Jay said, they do Toy Drives, Community Service, Blood drives, they care about people. I think more people need to be aware of that
