The union representing Police officers is waiting on the detail of the Government plan to curb gangs.
Legislation is soon to be introduced banning gang insignia in public places, enabling police to issue dispersal notices, and allowing courts to issue non-consorting orders.
Police Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking that if the law allows Police to retrospectively take patches off people, that could make it more workable.
He says if officers can turn up at their house at a later date, that might give it some extra power.
Cahill says at times, when there's enough Police, they could take the patches off gangs in the street.
