Could be pretty tough to prove.
I'm not sure what case law may have precedent over that definition, but based solely on the statute, I don't think it would be very hard at all. Going strictly by the statute, all you would have to show is that the group consists of three or more persons, that the group has a common identifying sign or symbol, and that the group has committed crimes together in the past.

I wouldn't be surprised is there is case law that expands on those requirements, but I admittedly have not looked for it.
