As long as no property was damaged and there were to injuries, they would be hard-pressed to charge any of the laws to which you referred. All the applicable laws I see are misdemeanors. No felonies. But again, I haven't seen the video.

And without concrete video evidence or catching the perps in the act, how would a cop know anything about outstanding warrants? Those are secondary concerns anyway.

Detective: So how did you all come to be here at midnight to rush the joint?

Suspect: Well Tyrone texted me around 11 and said to meet him and some of his boys, and we was gonna grab all we could from there.

There's my felony conspiracy. Now the standard for riotous action causing public alarm is what a "reasonable person" would be alarmed at, and the number needing to participate is different by state. But this group exceeded 20 which would satisfy the statute in any jurisdiction I'm aware of.

Sometimes there's a monetary threshold of damage or stolen goods, but since I've got a conspiracy all the participants are responsible for the total monetary value, not just the goods they personally absconded with.

So I've got what, a class D and a C, maybe two Ds and I'm just riffing off my head.

This isn't just misdemeanors.
