ONCE you’re in, you can never leave without payment in blood or cash.

Women are treated as second-class citizens — even branded like dogs with the words “property” scrawled across their backs.

And police warn that another term for our Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs may as well be Ammo Clubs are they increasingly stockpile guns “close to hand” for “inter-gang conflicts”.

They live by a “code of silence”, but The Daily Telegraph can today reveal the contents of a police dossier claiming to detail the secret inner workings of our bikie gangs.

Based on decades of intercepted phone calls, police interviews, debriefs from gang moles and information gleaned from hundreds of search warrants — this is the definitive picture of the “Way of the Bikie”.

How to treat your woman: Women can be branded by bikies.

It comes from a 400-page dossier tendered to court as part of proceedings relating to a violent turf war between the Finks and the Nomads in the Hunter Region.

Police are seeking to have landmark crime prevention orders imposed on five high-ranking Nomads and five Finks in a bid to end violent shootings across the Hunter putting the public at risk.

Patches and tattoos play an important role in bikie culture.

If the orders are granted by the courts, the 10 men will not be allowed to associate with any member of any gang, enter licensed premises in NSW or travel in vehicles at night for the next 12 months.

They will also not be allowed to use any encrypted communication — such as Snapchat, WhatsApp, Wickr and Hushmail — and will have to surrender their phones and passwords to police whenever requested.

Police have been compiling a dossier on bikies in NSW.

After two separate hearings in the NSW Supreme Court Justice David Davies is expected to hand down his decision on whether the orders should be granted in coming weeks.

Put together by veteran detectives attached to the high-profile Strike Force Raptor, the dossier claims to unravel the psychology behind “murder, kidnapping, very serious assaults and commercial drug trafficking”.
