Province reworks gang colour law after court loss to Hells Angel - News - The Prince Albert Daily Herald: "law was successfully challenged by a member of the Hells Angels who was charged in 2007 for wearing his gang colours in a Saskatoon bar.
The judge on the case ruled that the law violates a person's right to freedom of expression, adding it was too broad in some areas and not specific enough in others.
Huyghebaert says the changes include expanding the definition of �gang colours� to identify specific gangs by name.
The changes would also lower what was a $10,000 maximum fine and remove the one year in jail for a first-time conviction."
