Dayne Brajkovich, a member of the Mongol bikie gang in Perth, was arrested by police just hours after being seen giving his shirt to a homeless man. The arrest was not related to the charitable act, but rather to a breach of bail conditions concerning the belt he was wearing while attending court. Brajkovich’s lawyers allege the arrest is a deliberate attempt by police to harass and “annoy” bikie gang members, and a misuse of taxpayer funds. They claim the focus on minor infractions is disproportionate and intended to cause disruption. Police have not commented on the allegations of harassment. Brajkovich spent the night in custody as a result of the incident. The case raises questions about police tactics and the treatment of outlaw motorcycle gang members.
