Every Member of Hells Angels Has to Obey These Strict Rules

Biker Gangs Make Up 2.5% of All Gang Members in the U.S.

It may seem like biker gangs are leaders in the U.S. crime circuit, but in reality, only 2.5% of the gang population in total consists of biker gangs. Biker clubs are able to fly under the radar because the FBI focuses most of their energy on taking down street gangs and prison gangs.
