Gang members from different divisons showed up in large numbers at yesterday's hikoi wearing gang patches ahead of the ban which comes into effect from midnight tonight. Under the new law, gang insignia will be banned in public places, police will be able to break up large groups in public "if they are causing fear and intimidating" and police could issue non-consorting orders to stop gang members from associating or communicating for up to three years. Those breaking the law will be arrested, have their patches seized, and face prosecution. Charlotte hears from Black Power life member and community advocate Denis O'Reilly.
