Disorderly Conduct Is a Serious Charge
Because the charge of disorderly conduct may not seem to be attached to a serious wrongdoing, people may believe that the repercussions are also not serious.
Those people are wrong.
Conviction for disorderly conduct can come with steep fines. It will be on your criminal record, where potential employers can see it when determining whether they should hire you or not. Police officers will see it in their system and it may impact how they treat you in routine traffic stops and other situations.
You have the right to defend yourself against disorderly conduct charges.
What Does Disorderly Conduct Mean?
Police officers like this charge because it is poorly defined. This is what allows them to essentially be able to charge anyone with disorderly conduct. Anything that you do that rubs them the wrong way can be cause for this criminal charge.
Frequently, we see charges of disorderly conduct attached to other issues, such as:
- Interfering with arrest
- Failure to obey the commands of a police officer
- Providing false information to an officer
Of course, the situations that this charge can be attached to are limitless. Our lawyers can handle them all.
