Ex servicemen are getting their tatoos photographed because they ride a motorbike.

Newman before the election getting a photo with the same men he says shouldn't be associating with each other on motorbikes.....hypocrisy.

I guess they are a bt upset they supported him.

Do a search for VLAD laws to see how much of a police state QLD is becoming and how badly this is reflecting on the police force who are losing respetc.

Topside I know full well whats going on in QLD, NSW and Vic its the blind people that dont realise it will affect them sooner or latter and will ask how it happened and why no one stood up and stopped it.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

So much for these laws not affecting ordinary people, this will be because the police are ordering them to do this.

Nightclubs cracking down on tattooed patrons

But bar manager Jack Connor said security refused entry to people with face and neck tattoos as the ink was often associated with members of outlaw motorcycle clubs.

"A lot of bikies do have those tattoos on their face and neck and it is mainly because when other patrons in the bar see someone with neck tattoos and face tattoos they do become a bit uncomfortable," he said.

Surfers Paradise Licensed Venues Association president David Barnes said he was unaware of a specific crackdown.

He said Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach licensed venues had agreed two years ago to bar people with visible tattoos.

Police said they were not pressuring venues to enforce tattoo bans and their focus was on criminal motorcycle gang markings.

Are they all lying?

i really cannot see licensed venues voluntarily banning everyone with visible tatts - there goes more than half their clietele. 

If they have been doing it for two years why is it only being reported now?

Surely if it was to make their patros more comfortable it would have been widely advertised?

I have no idea, I don't go to nightclubs on the Gold Coast but.

Police said they were not pressuring venues to enforce tattoo bans and their focus was on criminal motorcycle gang markings.

I assume that is what is happening because of the Bikie criminals and the violence in that area.

Hotels have on a number of occasions even here in SA told us police have been in and attempted to intimidate them to refuse serving anyone that looked like a bike rider.

Funny think is they are happy to have 10 - 20 customers or so the hotels say and go out of their way to provide tables and meals.

even stranger is when members of the public come up and ask about the bikes and want to take pictures of their kids standing next to them and some of the older people talk about how they rode in their younger days and tell their stories.

read the artical in post 154 does that guy have Tatts on his neck, hands or look like a bikie?

as for what the police have supposedly stated I do not believe it.

Nothing too strange about that.

Some people are just odd.

In Brisbane yesterday, people who are not bikies.....criminal or otherwise....... and not even bikers, were dressed up as bikies and walking around the CBD all day trying to get arrested.

None were successful and went home disappointed.
