Police resources stretched to limit as officers drive by ministers' homes and stake out bikie clubhouses, tattoo parlours POLICE patrol cars across the state are being diverted to carry out a 24-hour watch on bikie clubhouses so they can arrest anyone who turns up. Crews are also being diverted to monitor tattoo parlours and drive past the homes of government ministers and members of parliament following the introduction of Queensland's new hard-line anti-bikie laws. Frontline officers say resources are being stretched, with police taken off normal duties to spend shifts parked outside clubhouses - including some that have been stripped and shut down after members declared they were quitting. They used to target each other but now we're worried they'll be targeting us. Under the new legislation, gang members and their associates face six months jail for stepping foot inside their clubrooms. Innisfail's Inni Ink Tattoo and Body Piercing owner Sue Freier said two cars had been parked outside the shop throughout the weekend, including closing hours, and officers had taken details from customers. "It's been a bit weird," she said. They've been here the whole time. We were only open for two hours (on Saturday) because we didn't have many customers and they were here when we arrived. It is really (unfair), why aren't they sitting at motorbike mechanics and places like that? I don't know where it stops. If you tattoo a bikie are you affiliated? If you cut a bikies' hair are you affiliated? Two Cairns men, who are members of the Odin's Warriors bikie gang, became the first people in the state to be charged under new State Government legislation on Friday, but were released on bail with their lawyer Philip Bovey describing the new laws as "draconian" and "outrageous." On the Gold Coast, a 25-year-old man was charged under the new legislation after police found a Red Devils vice-president's vest at his home on Friday night. The man was charged with possession of amphetamines but faces a mandatory jail term of 25 years if he is found to be an officer bearer for the club. Another man who is allegedly an associate of the Rebels bikie gang was charged under the legislation in Mt Isa on Saturday following his arrest in a pub. A Queensland Police Service spokesperson said the visible show of force was among a "range of operational tactics" being used to enforce the new legislation. "Visible presence has been increased in the vicinity of clubhouses and tattoo parlours," the spokesperson said. Officer and community safety is a key focus of our operations.
