when it is in their own interests, using as an example the occasion in 1994 when the government of Jean
Chretien increased cigarette taxes. Rather pay the increased cigarette taxes, ordinary Canadians much preferred to buy smuggled black market American cigarettes, which became a $ 1 billion industry almost overnight with 70% of the cigarettes smoked in Quebec in 1994 being smuggled cigarettes. Canadians only stopped buying smuggled cigarettes' when the federal government lowed the taxes on cigarettes. Langton wrote that British Columbia has since the 1960s tended to attract hedonist people who routinely used illegal drugs for recreational purposes despite what the law said, and this created a situation where organized crime groups could make millions as the values of society in British Columbia differed from those of the Canadian state. Langton wrote that the Hells Angels came to dominate organized crime in British Columbia because of their complicated structure with the hierarchy of associates, "hang-arounds", "prospects" and "full patch" members and the lure of membership, which allowed the Angels to have others commit crimes on their behalf. Finally, the Hells Angels had national and international connections that other organized crime groups lacked. The Hells Angels chapters in Quebec, most notably the Sherbrooke chapter, exported French-Canadian strippers to work for strippers agencies run by the Hells Angels in the Lower Mainland. Despite their avowed white supremacist ideology and use of Nazi symbols, the Hells Angels in British Columbia were because of their control of the port of Vancouver able to make deals with the Triads to import heroin from the "Golden Triangle" in southeast Asia into British Columbia.

On 17 January 1997, Toddington saw Norman Stark, a former Ports Police chief to tell him: "We know she has relatives who are organised crime. You've got a problem. She is a serious risk". On 4 March 1997, Toddington was phoned by Sidney
Peckford, the director of the Ports Police, who told him to cease his investigation, which had angered many powerful people. Toddington told Fotia to continue the investigation, saying "This investigation is continuing, as far as we're concerned". On 19 March 1997, Toddington was fired. Toddington sued the Crown for wrongful dismissal and won his case with a judge ruling that Toddington was fired for political reasons. In 1997, the government of Jean Chretien disbanded the Canada Ports Police and replaced the Ports Police with poorly paid private security guards, which marked the end of any attempt to stop the Hells Angels from smuggling drugs into British Columbia. In July 1997, the federal government fired all Canada Ports Police officers and destroyed all of their intelligence files, decisions that have drawn much ire from the police. Damiano Dipolpolo, a "full patch" member of the East End chapter visited the waterfront of the port of Vancouver in early 2002 despite not being a longshoreman and was confronted by a security guard over his unauthorized presence. The next day, the security guard was confronted by a Hells Angels "support crew" who told him: "The next time Mr. Dipolpolo comes, don't you dare think about dropping the boom gate down. He comes down here and does what he wants, when he wants-got it!"

Antigua, but rather in Vancouver. On 20 August 1999, the RCMP executed Project Enigma and raided the offices of Starnet where the police seized 154 boxes of documents, 74 computers and 100 gigabytes of data. The bank account of Starnet at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commence was frozen and the Crown seized $ 6, 697, 000 in the account. The RCMP found that the former owner of Starnet, Ken Lelek, a close friend of Robinson's, was the de factor CEO of Starnet and that Lelek was in close contact with Robinson, whom he provided copies of corporate minutes. Ryan noticed the initial investors who provided $ 2.2 million in start-up capital to Starnet in 1995 are a mystery as no Starnet documents lists their identities. The precise identities of the initial investors remain unknown. On 17 August 2001, Starnet pleaded guilty to one count of illegally keeping a computer device for gambling in Canada. As part of the plea bargain with the corporation, Starnet paid a $ 100, 000 fine and forfeited the $ 2.2 million seized in 1999 as the proceeds of crime in exchange for the Crown dropping the other charges against the company. Robinson remained a very wealthy man who owned a house in West Vancouver valued at $ 1, 330, 000 and has been active on Howe Street, being a major shareholder in Robinson Investments, Genesis Resources, JLK Holdings and a number of gold mining companies.

RCMP stated: "The north has been an expanding filed. There are lot of drugs consumed in the north. They want to tap into that lucrative market". The Hells Angels founded a puppet gang in Prince George known as the
Renegades who in turn founded another puppet gang known as the Crew. In an infamous incident, a drug dealer in Prince George, Patrick Patriquin, staggered into a convenience store bleedingly badly as the clerk noticed he was missing his left hand. It is believed that the Crew chopped off Patriquin's hand. Shawn Giesbrecht, a drug addict and a drug dealer, went to see Scott Payne, the president of the Crew, on 14 November 2004, to tell him that was $ 170 short on his payments. Payne seized Giesbrecht's hand and used a knife to cut the little finger on Giesbrecht's left hand as a warning to those who fell behind in their drug debts to the Hells Angels. After the police arrested several members of the Crew including Payne, the Hells Angels took what was left of the Crew to merge with criminals from Kelowna to found the new Prince George chapter of the Independent Soldiers. When faced with drug charges, the president of the Renegades, William "Billy" Moore chose to turn Crown's evidence. On 25 March 2005, Moore was shot dead in his house, which was then burned down.

In 1989, Robinson was arrested on charges of second degree murder after Hilmar Suessmaier, the owner of the Metro nightclub, tried to expel an unruly Hells Angel, which led to him being beaten to death. The Crown later dropped the charges against Robinson, saying there was no prospect of a conviction if the case went to trial. Robinson was the owner of That's Entertainment stripper agency while Elie Bruneau, the president of the Haney chapter owned the Deluxe Entertainment stripper agency. In May 1995, That's Entertainment become the world's first company to feature on-line strippers on the internet. To charge for the website, That's Entertainment was a pioneer in on-line commence, being one of the world's first companies to allow for on-line credit transactions via the Bank of Montreal. In 1997, another of Robinson's internet companies set an on-line sports betting website allegedly based in Antigua.

Detective Andy Richards of the Vancouver police service with an offer to turn Crown's evidence. Richards along with Detective Al Dalstorm launched Project Nova where they paid Molsberrry $ 2000 per month for information. Over the course of the next year, Dalstorm and Richards collected much information about the drug dealing of Pires and Lising. On 23 July 1998, Lising and Pires were arrested. In 2000, the Project Nova case went to trial and in January 2001 Lising and Pires were convicted. Though only a minor case, the Project Nova case made headlines in British Columbia as the first time any Hells Angels had ever been convicted of drug dealing in British Columbia.

One Mounties stated that CLEU "became a dumping ground for the various police departments...of injured people, alcoholics, people in the twilight of their careers being put out to pasture". Officers at the RCMP national headquarters in Ottawa were critical of the RCMP's B.C. division with one Mountie saying: "They were afraid of their own tails". In 1996 and again in 1998, two Hells Angels in the Lower Mainland offered to become paid informers for the RCMP, but in both cases the RCMP declined to take up their offer, saying they were unwilling to pay for information about the Hells Angels.

Fotia told Sher and Marsden: "They're in key positions to have anything moved to where they it to be moved." Toddington said of the Angels working in the port of Vancouver: "you could have people putting the containers anywhere they want". The Canada Ports Police officers on the West Coast numbered in 29 in total, down from the 42 employed in 1986.

Kim Harmer of the Mission chapter, owned 81 Transport, which supplied vehicles to Hollywood production companies shooting films and TV shows in the Lower Mainland. Ernie Ozolins of the Haney chapter was involved in a major stock fraud on Howe Street (the financial district of Vancouver) in 1997 by selling shares worth millions in a bogus gold mining company.

In 1999, he started to smuggle cocaine into Canada from Columbia for the Hells Angels. At the same time, he approached the RCMP to informer on the cocaine smuggling scheme in exchange for $ 1 million and witness protection. The Victoria office of the RCMP made sort of deal with Stirling, but Richard Barszczewki, the inspector of the RCMP's Drug Enforcement Branch, vetoed the deal with Stirling for reasons that remain unexplained.

Justice Peter Leask told the Crown Attorney, Ernie Froess, that he was wrong he asserted that the cocaine found in the storage unit did not belong to Lilford because it would be dangerous to store cocaine in a locker belonging to a Hells Angel. Leask told the courtroom: "On the one hand, he can minimize his risk of detection and apprehension by just aborting the whole fucking thing, right?" Leask's frequent swearing in the courtroom was considered to be scandalous. The case ended with Leask acquitting Hehn under the grounds no Hells Angel would store cocaine in a storage unit he had rented and Lilford was too intimidated by the Hells Angels to store cocaine in Hehn's locker.

Battered Women's Support Services stated that the Hells Angels were responsible and that: "The rape and beatings are standard punishment. What is a little bit unusual are women's heads being shaved...and women coming out windows". Gladys Radek of the Walk 4 Justice group told the meeting: "There's been a few women lately thrown out of windows. Women missing fingers, wearing wigs because their heads have been shaved". Langton wrote the Hells Angels routinely cut off fingers and even hands as punishment for not paying drug debts and that for the Hells Angels the life of a woman like Machinskinic would have meant nothing.

The RCMP searched Alexander's car and found two loaded handguns along with a "hit list" on the members of the Rogers gang that contained an immense amount of information on the members of the Rogers gang. On 29 April 2001, Rogers was murdered at a gas station, taking two bullets to his brain.

In summary, Revell and Rempel were found guilty but Giles was found not guilty on either count. Also, Revell and Rempel were found not guilty on the charge of possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
