Analysis: The Highwaymen M/C are considered one of the most violent motorcycle clubs within the United States. Various members have been convicted of homicide, robbery, CSC, narcotics, vehicle theft, and weapons violations. They have no loyalty affiliation with other biker gangs (such as the Hells Angels or the Outlaws) but will socialize with whomever suits their purposes at the moment.
Various motorcycle gangs have been known to clean up their image. Part of the reason in doing this is to discredit law enforcement and make the public see these bikers as less of a threat. However, this line of thinking also requires less of a physical presence in breaking the law. The outlaw biker culture has moved and followed the technological advances sweeping the country. The Hells Angels M/C has been found to track the IP addresses of those individuals who visit any of their websites. In doing so, the bikers through a series of manipulations, are able to steal personal information. Unless utilizing an undercover computer, it is recommended that no one visit these websites. A-102
