Hell's Angels rev up battle against ban

Hell's Angels are taking their fight to repeal Wanganui's gang patch ban to the high court but police claim the ban has cleaned up the city.
In the nine months since the ban came into force , wearing gang patches in the city has resulted in 13 people being prosecuted.
The motorcycle gang claims the law breaches the Bill of Rights and before the bylaw was introduced last September, the Hell's Angels unsuccessfully lobbied the council to stop the ban from going ahead.
They have filed a high court claim to repeal the bylaw after being turned down by the district court.
 
"The application is about whether or not the council had the power to pass the bylaw," the gang's lawyer Steven Rollo said.
