Fresno Attorney Jonathan gives some insight on how to avoid arrest and also how to avoid being victimized at the Big Fresno Fair.  It is applicable to most major events, be it rodeo's, carnivals, smaller fairs, or events.

The Big Fresno Fair is coming to town in a few short months.  Along with the Big Fresno Fair we will see in influx of people, confined in a small area and crimes will assuredly occur.  DUI is a common offense during the fair.  Drivers arrive, enter the fair grounds to watch a show, or see the displays in the galleries, or even view the animals.  They are in a festive mood, and consume alcoholic beverages, only to have to drive home.  DUI Checkpoints are common in the area of the fair grounds during the fair.  Inevitably, there is a rise in DUI arrests due to this.  Remember to drink responsibility.

Theft Crimes are always common at the Fairs, and the Big Fresno Fair is no exception.  Be on the lookout for ticket scams, stolen items that are being sold at prices too good to be true, and theft.  Be sure to remove all valuables from your vehicle before leaving it parked.  Secure parking is a plus.  If you must leave some items of value in the vehicle, be sure to place them in the trunk or otherwise out of site.

Assaults and Battery arrests are also common during the Big Fresno Fair.  Make sure to avoid people who are looking to start problems.  Its easier to stop an event from occurring than to defend your case after it begins.
