Gotro asked if he considers any biker wearing colors to be a member of a criminal street gang. He said no, not necessarily. 11:40 AM - 12 Oct 2017

She asked if a biker wearing a three-piece patch and a 1 percenter diamond is a member of a criminal street gang. 11:41 AM - 12 Oct 2017

He answered more likely than not, but he would have to investigate further. 11:42 AM - 12 Oct 2017

He said he has heard that the Bandido patch "Expect No Mercy" means the wearer has committed an act of violence for the gang. 11:50 AM - 12 Oct 2017

Gotro asked if it couldn't mean expect no mercy from a society that judges bikers by their appearance and assumes they are criminals. 11:51 AM - 12 Oct 2017

Kozlowski said it behooves bikers wearing such patches to come up with alternative meanings for them because they know police see them. 11:53 AM - 12 Oct 2017

Gotro asked if many of the same rules and expectations that govern membership and behavior for gangs can apply to law enforcement agencies. 11:58 AM - 12 Oct 2017

He agreed. 11:58 AM - 12 Oct 2017

It's time for lunch break. Back at 1:15 11:59 AM - 12 Oct 2017
