A self proclaimed ex-bikie on the run from police has spoken about his justification for not turning himself in to the authorities.
David Brooks, from Newcastle, New South Wales, has been wanted since February 21 when he failed to report to parole officers after jail-time for drugs charges.
‘I don’t accept those laws, so I can’t be a criminal,’ he said in one of his various Facebook posts.
Mr Brookes took part in an interview with 9 News and said he was being harassed by police until he couldn’t take it anymore.
He had some more choice words for police in another of his Facebook live updates.

‘It’s the end of my patience I just took off to rebuild my life on my own terms,’ he said.
He geo-tags his Facebook updates with different location everyday including Melbourne, Canada and the Philippines in a calculated ploy.
‘My actions are very deliberate and they shall continue to be until I am either caught or handed in,’ he said.
His latest post was geo-tagged as coming form Amsterdam which he joked about in the interview.
‘My feet aren’t taking well to clogs and the windmills messed up my hairstyle so that’s why I’ve got the hat.,’ he said.
In a separate upload, he gave officers a ‘shout out’ and said they were failing to do their jobs.

In the video, in which he wears sunglasses and black sweater and smokes a cigarette, he says: ‘A shout out to detectives at a police station f****** anywhere.
‘Get yer f****** s*** together, you still haven’t found me, you f***.’
He continues: ‘OK? I’m not that f****** hard to find.
‘OK, I’ll give you a clue: I’m not in Fiji. Hopefully that will help you in your investigations into ”where is Brooksie”?’
Two hours after posting the video on Facebook, Brook updated his location to Montreal, Canada by using the site’s ‘check in’ feature.
He wrote: ‘Anyone want some maple syrup?’

Brooks, who depicts himself as an outlaw, told The Daily Telegraph: ‘After four constant years of police harassment and being a target, I simply wanted to be left in peace and to be a normal everyday working person as I was before they injected themselves into my life.
‘I enrolled in university and am also working long hours. I have no affiliation with any motorcycle club and do not participate in any criminal activity.’
Asked if he wanted to hand himself in, he said: ‘I eventually do but I want to make some noise first.’
A spokesman for New South Wales Police told Daily Mail Australia: ‘We ask anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact police.’
