Chris Cahill: Police Association President on the charges laid against gang members after the new laws were launched

More than 3,000 charges have been filed against gang members in the three months from the launch of new laws.  Police have seized 76 gang patches and 67 guns under the Government's patch ban.  The Police Commissioner says gang members have been mostly compliant since the laws banning insignia began.  Police Association President Chris Cahill told Andrew Dickens the gangs seem to have realised very quickly that if they wear their patches, they’ll lose them permanently.  And if they don’t act immediately, police will turn up with a search warrant the next morning, he says.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
