We're not bikies, drug accused insist

A Queensland man facing drug charges has accused the police's Taskforce Maxima of defaming him and putting him in danger after linking him to the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle club.

James Pulsford, a 54-year-old electrician from Ocean View, north of Brisbane, has been charged with growing and possessing cannabis and utensils, which he says relates to three plants he cultivated for a medical condition.

His son, Tom, 23, is facing more serious charges, including trafficking, in relation to a $200,000 stash of ice, GHB and other drugs found at the property, though its understood he will fight the charges.

Both strongly deny an assertion by Taskforce Maxima - Queensland Police's anti-bikie unit - they are linked to the Bandidos and are afraid to return home for fear of repercussions from bikie gangs.

"I've never been involved in any sort of criminal group and I've never been in any real trouble with the police," Mr Pulsford told AAP.

"I've built up a good reputation over the years from doing the right thing by the community and now the police have just trashed mine and my son's name by saying things even they know are untrue."

Mr Pulsford also claims Taskforce Maxima officers may have damaged $50,000 worth of property during a raid.

The pair's legal team has sent a complaint to senior Maxima officer Detective Inspector Philip Stevens, but a QPS spokesman said no official complaint had been received.

QPS has declined to comment further on the matter because it is before the courts.

A May 3 media release from police said the Pulsfords were arrested "as part of operations targeting the involvement of the Bandidos OMCG in the illegal distribution and production of dangerous drugs".

News outlets have referred to the two men as "associates" of the Bandidos.

The pair's solicitor, Aaron Potts, said the Bandidos claims were "highly defamatory, reckless and dangerous".

"Contrary to QPS media releases, there is simply no evidence whatsoever that these men are members or associates of any outlaw motorcycle gang," he said.

Taskforce Maxima was set up under the Newman government to crack down on illegal bikie gangs as part of its controversial Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment laws.

The Palaszczuk government is overhauling the laws and the Maxima unit was downsized around the start of the year.
