Merely being in a picture with gang members is not grounds for a charge at all. But if you have been charged with a crime and there is evidence that you dated for the benefit of the gang, a gang enhancement may be added to your charges. The type of photo you describe could be used as such evidence.

Yes. Enhancement to certain crimes can apply by showing gang association. If you need legal representation, feel free to contact me.
