'Flawed' laws drive bikies interstate ORGANISED crime experts warn that Queensland's "flawed" anti-bikie laws will drive gangs underground and interstate, as criminal lawyers prepare to challenge the legislation in the High Court. Under the legislation rushed through Queensland parliament last week, bikie club members convicted of serious crimes will be jailed for a mandatory 15 years above the standard sentence and club bosses will be hit with an additional 10 years on top of that. In addition, 26 bikie groups have been branded criminal organisations, banning their members from meeting in public and recruiting, and giving police permission to stop and search members without a warrant. University of Queensland criminal law professor Andreas Schloenhardt said the laws, now Australia's most restrictive anti-bikie rules, were likely only to nab the "slow and stupid," while forcing the rest to cross state lines. "The first thing you do is take your jacket off and keep your motorbikes in the garage for a little while; it does not eliminate the smart criminal element, the masterminds," he said. Professor Schloenhardt said when similar laws were introduced in South Australia and NSW -- later quashed by the High Court -- bikies quietly shifted interstate and carried on committing crimes there. Police detective turned Bond University criminologist Terry Goldsworthy said Victoria Police publicly flagged "crime displacement" as an unintended consequence of South Australia's anti-association laws in 2008. "This happens when you have these laws enacted in one place and not elsewhere," Dr Goldsworthy said. I've heard reports from my sources that some of the Gold Coast clubs are looking at clubhouses (across the NSW border) in Tweed Heads. Already, criminal defence lawyers have vowed to launch a High Court challenge as soon as one of their clients is convicted under one of the three new pieces of Queensland legislation. Queensland Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie said yesterday that he had expected criminal motorcycle gangs to "do whatever they could to get around our laws." "They are well resourced with teams of lawyers but we will fight any challenge," he said.
