    Because they have a code of silence, and witnesses are to afraid to go against them, this making enough evidence to prosecute them very hard to obtain.

    Prosecution for what? If they haven't done felonies, no felony prosecution. traffic offenses?- get real, old riders with colors know police are looking for publicity so obey the traffic laws while wearing colors. As for some protection from political prosecution or prosecutor needing political endorsement later? HA may know where politicians have skeletons tucked away, when politician was at whorehouse, what his favored perversion is- and have the picture to prove it since HA or associate was there helping . Brotherhood can help persuade witness that police and prosecutor won't or can't help them if the 'brothers' get really pissed off. Also, HA have learned over the years to have some lawyers on speed dial, so have Outlaws, Banditos, Mongols. 1%ers aren't a big threat to public now, Islamic terrorists and Mex drug dealers are the threat getting attention along with Kardashians.

    FarKenHall is correct - they won't rat each other out or testify against each other in court, and they intimidate potential witnesses/judges/etc.

    They are a tight knit circle and difficult to infiltrate, but are generally decent people who's reputation proceeds them.

    Actually, The Outlaws are far more formidable and arch rivals to Hells Angels.
