WA lawyers oppose controversial bikie laws

LAWYERS have spoken against the West Australian Government's plan to adopt the toughest organised crime laws in the country, which could see bikies banned from associating.

Groups deemed to organise, plan and facilitate criminal activity, and that pose a risk to public safety, could become declared criminal organisations (DCO) under the proposed legislation.

Once a criminal organisation has been declared by a judge, police could apply to the Supreme Court for control orders to stop the group associating with other controlled people, going to banned locations, promoting the organisation or transferring funds to the organisation.
