Nothing like that? What are you reading into that mocking authority is equivalent to being in a criminal gang?

Laughing at the people who rule you isn't a crime.

I thought you meant in an antagonistic sense, like someone who gestures they're at war with authority, especially in favor of doing anything and everything.

Well if that's what you mean, don't we all mock people in authority at times? We do live in a memes culture after all. I commonly joke about how the police where I live are a family business, especially as they aren't that great.
