The subject of analysis is the statutory descriptions of crimes and offenses related to mass events and the way of proving the perpetration of such crimes. The overly general formulation of the elements and the criminalization of behavior only leading to the violation of legally protected goods cause evidentiary difficulties and at the same time constitute a temptation to simplify the proof of the commission of a crime. At the same time, the basing of evidence proceedings in many cases primarily on surveillance data from the event raises doubts about whether the perpetration is attributed to the right person. The punitive measure of a stadium ban, which raises both constitutional questions and doubts about how it should be enforced, was discussed.
