Finks bikies threaten legal action over Herald Sun stories Andrew Rule, Associate Editor for the Herald Sun investigates improper activities of Police with bikie gangs in Victoria OUTRAGED Finks outlaw motorcycle club members have threatened legal action over Herald Sun stories alleging links between corrupt police and a Goulburn Valley motorcycle gang. A concerned Finks sergeant said he had received "heaps of calls" from members incensed by what they saw as a suggestion that they co-operated with police. This was a reaction to a line in one story which said: "It seems the finks are in bed with the fuzz." Despite assurances that "finks" did not refer to the Finks MC but was a general reference to members of another club, The Outlaws, "Frank" demanded "clarification" and threatened legal action. "This is serious, mate," Frank said. Guys are running to lawyers (because) we pride ourselves on not having anything to do with police. It comes across that you mean us and it's put us in an awkward position. He said aggrieved Finks had contacted him from prison to say they were concerned other prisoners would conclude they were "in bed with police" and that would put them on the "no-good list." To be on the "no-good list" could be bad for their health and social standing in jail, he said. Finks friends and family members were also concerned about the slur on their the characters of their loved ones. Finks were tough but they have feelings, he said. Things like this can turn to s... inside (jail). It doesn't take much in there. The Finks stand apart. We are not some "two-minute" club. We've been around since 1969. We pride ourselves on following our rules and one is that we don't make any statements to police - we just don't speak to them. What other clubs did was up to them, he said. There are two meanings to the word. A Fink is completely different to a rat. I am not making threats and I am not trying to play the heavy but you better fix it. Sergeant "Frank'" said it was difficult to explain the difference in meaning between "finks" and "Finks" to some members. Grammar and spelling was not their strongest subject. At the time of writing no lawsuits had been lodged by the Finks' lawyers - or fink lawyers.
