What is Disorderly Conduct?

Disorderly conduct is a very common and a broadly defined offence in California. It includes many different acts that are interpreted as disruptions to public order. The following are the main reasons for a disorderly conduct arrest and charge:

• Loitering
• Begging
• Peeping at a close range or with optical instruments
• Squatting
• Prostitution
• Public Drunkenness
