Frontline police claim they've been humiliated, after they were ordered to stand back and let a convoy of bikies break laws in northern NSW without penalty.
Assistant Police Commissioner Lee Shearer claims 200 officers deployed to the area did breath tests and other checks, but officers have told Macquarie Radio that's a lie.
Shadow Police Minister Mike Gallagher has told 2GB’s Ray Hadley the officers were told to stand back, after one of the bikies complained about being victimised.
“There are a lot of people very very filthy about the conduct of this operation, and they’re saying ‘well what happens next time?’
“Do the 300 or 400 bikies get together again, and then become quite a critical mass, and then make the same threats? ‘If you don’t leave us alone, we’ll turn up in a town and wipe it out.’”
