interesting situation, Australia cops park a cop car outside a Hells Angels leader's business, and move it very couple hours, but, when he got fed up with it being there, he torched it. His side of the story seems to be that the cops were trying to implicate him as a stool pigeon by parking in front, all day

Police had parked a patrol car near Orrock's tattoo parlour Skin Deep on on April 21st 2012, moving it approximately every two hours, the court heard.

Documents tendered during Orrock's bail application say he went to Newtown police about 3am on Friday and said "you f***** move that car right now...you f****** move it right away or otherwise I will burn it down.''

He admitted to it in court, over the course of getting arrested, released, and re-arrested with the local law enforcement lost their minds over the judge releasing him because of lack of evidence that he had factually torched it, vs circumstantial evidence (innocent until proven guilty). Orrock was granted bail by a local court Magistrate, but the DPP appealed following comments from Premier Barry O'Farrell that to release him sent the wrong message while the state is in the midst of a "serious bikie war".

Magistrate Julie Huber had granted him bail, noting his alleged threat was based on a premise that the vehicle's presence was a threat to his family's safety.

She acknowledged that his previous convictions did not involve assaults or action taken against police and that he is the sole provider to his wife and two children.

But, did the cops push him and figure he'd do something stupid? They already knew that several tattoo business had been shot in in drive bys, and claim their cop car was there to deter more of the same, Scott dismissed this rubbish and states it made his business a target.

Defence barrister Deone Provera said Orrock had received threats of violence and asked one police officer for the van to be moved further down the street. Police refused.

"He was aware that there had been shootings at tattoo parlours and homes of people associated with the Nomads and the Hells Angels," Mr Provera said. Five homes and tattoo parlours were targeted in one night - at Merrylands, Baulkham Hills, Granville and Northmead - with a series of reprisals in the following days.

In response, police established flooded the streets with 100 extra officers to prevent reprisal attacks.

This all came about because of a biker gang feud in Australia between the Nomads and the Hells Angels. It simmered for more than a year before erupting in a series of tit-for-tat drive-by shootings of homes and businesses in April 2012.

The origins of the feud were stem from a recruitment drive by the Hells Angels when Nomads president Scott Orrock and other members moved to the Hells Angels.

Police raids on 18 Sydney premises associated with the two gangs, 43 people arrested and 146 charges laid, showed police were not deterred.
