McKees Rocks, United States - June 13, 2020 / Wyland Law Group /

It has been a tumultuous year all over the world, most especially in the country. Coronavirus started things off and then riots broke out in several states across The United States.

As can be expected, the riots spurred an increase in the presence of security personnel all over the country, which in turn led to more arrests. If you have been involved in a riot and you were arrested at the said riot, then you want to pay attention to the following information:

  1. That you were arrested for a crime does not necessarily mean that you will be convicted or that it will go on your record. 
  2. There is a law firm in Western Pennsylvania that has experience in these types of cases that can get you off quite easily. More on that later, right now, here are a few things about riots and protests and the laws governing them that you should know. 

 

Rioting and The Position Of The Law

Under the law, every American has the right to protest, it is one of the oldest and most respected rights in the country. This right is even covered by the First Amendment rights to free speech.

The caveat however is that you are ONLY protected IF the protest is a peaceful one. But the truth of the matter is that many protests that start off peacefully end up getting violent and turn into riots. Usually, the violence is started and propagated by a select few with many others just swept along with it.

At this point, you can be charged with rioting or with associated crimes including incitement to riot or conspiracy to riot. These charges can carry sentences ranging from 1- 5 years in prison to fines or both depending on if you are charged under Federal or State jurisdictions. This is why you need a great lawyer to help you beat the charge, especially if you are one of those that were just swept along by the violence, an observer.
