DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE ACCUSED OF A GANG RELATED CRIME
A gang related criminal charge in Virginia has much more serious ramifications if the person accused of committing the crime is alleged to be also a gang member. The penalties and jail time are greater simply because the crime is deemed to be gang related.
Prosecutors and police officers frequently charge a person as a gang member in Virginia even if they are not a part of a criminal gang. Do not let yourself be labeled as a gang member. If you let the justice system label you as a gang member, this label will follow you for the rest of your life and result in much more scrutiny and penalties. Many times, simply being friendly with someone who is already labeled as a gang member can result in the police and the prosecutor labeling you as a gang member.
The Virginia gang defense attorneys of the SRIS Law Group, P.C. who defend clients charged with being part of a criminal street gang or gang related crimes aggressively defend clients charged with these offenses.
A lot of people simply want to be a part of a community and some of the members of that community may be part of a criminal street gang. That does not necessary mean that all members of that community are committing crimes and are actual members of a criminal street gang.
Unfortunately, that does not stop the police in Virginia from labeling all members of that community as a gang member.
