The Hell's Angels Clubhouse "Charter Violation" Easily Solved

HA East End Vancouver Clubhouse, seized as of 2005
The British Columbia Hell's Angels are bringing forth a challenge in court against the BC government, as to the provinces's right to confiscate the already seized three clubhouses. 

They are claiming they are not a criminal organization, so they have rights in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that would make the government have to pay to investigate the properties, rather than not having to if the property belonged to a criminal organization. 

This seems like a cheap trick to deter the Crown and the province from continuing the investigation, or a quick out for possible crooked police, judges and politicians.

However, BC politicians like the mayor of Surrey, Dianne Watts, certainly raise the bar for politicians who are good people and uncorrupt, and who stand against organized crime syndicates, like the Hell's Angels, so it is not likely this travesty will fly.

Why is this a travesty? All the government has to do is prove the owners of the property were involved in criminal activity, and as you can see from the picture on this article, the East End clubhouse was full of cocaine, guns and contraband, when the property was seized as of 2005.

That was easy.

Triad King-pin Deportation Trial

Lai Tong Sang, member of the Shui Fong Triad.
The possible head member of the Shui Fong Triad, Lai Tong Sang, has been deported from Vancouver, British Columbia, back to Macau, China.

He was arrested after having a 'contract' put on him by a rival Triad group known as the 14k Triad, evidence which police gathered from a wire-taped phone conversation.

Lai is the suspected "dragon's head" (leader) of the Shui Fong (which translates to the "water room gang"), and his reputation is being of such, from the violent nature of the gang, as well his estate having been shot at in a drive-by shooting in 1997, which was the result of a war for power in the Triads in Macau, that rippled into Vancouver where the Canadian members seize territory.

Lai was wrongfully migrated into Canada in 1996, because of a mistake in an immigration background check. Due to this he doesn't have the legal right to reside in Canada, which was found in court, and he is now to be deported.

Notes:

-The 14K Triads recently went to war with the Shui Fong (Water Room Gang) triads aka Wu On Lok, which Lai Tong Sang belongs to.

-The 4 main Triad groups are the Shui Fong, 14k, Big Circle Boys and Wo Shing Yee

-The Triads major in heroine, the trade is worth roughly $500,000,000

-They are openly colder and more quick to precise violence

-They are equalled to the Hell's Angels, but in a different way, as their coldness seems to push police into doing their job, although they are more openly public about their nature, the police force seems to be less corrupt in the relationship and opposed to the organization at least in Canada. Whereas the Hell's Angels can kill someone in broad daylight and the police will do nothing about it, 100% percent corrupt, unless forced by the public's general expectation to do what is required.

-And people are less motivated to interfere with Triads, due to their cold severity, so less murders are done, at it seems in Canada.
