Disorderly Conduct

San Diego Disorderly Conduct Attorney

We are always expected to be on our best behavior and follow all the rules in public. There are also unspoken rules that we must abide by without any prompting, such as respecting the peace of others and not causing a problem or scandal. However, some defy these rules and make a nuisance of themselves through violation.

Those who violate these rules are charged with disorderly conduct. While people found guilty of committing disorderly conduct know their actions were wrong, they – alongside those charged or accused of committing such acts – often wonder if disorderly conduct is illegal since they are unfamiliar with the law. Some would even show surprise when they find out the penalties attached to this crime, even for first-time offenders.

Penalties for Disorderly Conduct

Any disorderly conduct violation is considered a misdemeanor under California’s statute.

It will come with jail time and fines, but additional stipulations such as community service, rehab, and restitution may be included. The severity of the penalty does vary depending on the type of offense committed, and it is possible to get multiple sentences if you have committed more than one violation.

If one is a repeat offender, the penalties can be doubled and considered a felony depending on the act one has committed.
