Feds used wiretap at biker hangout




A federal crackdown on two Detroit-area motorcycle gangs got a major boost when a popular biker hangout was wired for sound and video, a prosecutor says.


Quote from the article:

Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane Marion says members of the Outlaws, Highwaymen and other bike gangs frequented a west side bar called the Copa Lounge, The Detroit News reported Thursday.

The club's owner, a former boss of the Devils Disciples bike club, was so horrified by the 2002 execution-style slayings of a Livonia jeweler and his family that he allowed federal agents to secretly wire the backroom of his establishment, investigators said.
