Los Angeles Lakers and Riots

What began as a celebration of the Los Angeles Lakers' Championship turned into a scary scene in downtown Los Angeles.  Police were called in and arrested over twenty individuals for their part in the riots and looting that took place.
Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys often have to aggresively defend people involved in such crimes, many of whom are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.  When the Los Angeles police arrest people, rarely do they have the proper evidence or information, all they have to go on are their instincts and bits of information.  Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys understand this and do their best to stop it.
In this particular case in Los Angeles, there were fires, vandalized cars and buildings, fireworks set off, looting of stores and some clashing with police.  Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys will recognize that most of these are petty crimes, however if you have a criminal record, these crimes could add up to some serious jail time.  Even if you don't, any Los Angeles criminal defense attorney will tell you that heavy fines, probation, community service and even minor jail time are in store for you if convicted.
