FAQ
Penalties for Violation Although it doesn't rise to the level of being a crime under New York law, a conviction for disorderly conduct can lead to a maximum of 15 days in jail or a fine of up to $250.
In Texas, flipping another person the bird is in most cases lawful until it crosses the line into disorderly conduct.
Disorderly conduct crimes are charged as misdemeanors. Penalties for a disorderly conduct conviction, such as accusations of being drunk in public, can lead to a fine of up to $1,000, up to six months in county jail, or both.
Does disorderly conduct come up on a background check? Yes. Disorderly conduct is usually charged as a misdemeanor, though it may be elevated to a felony, such as if a person falsely shouts “fire” in a crowded place. Misdemeanors and felonies both come up on criminal background checks.
Most disorderly conduct offenses are Class C misdemeanors, punishable by a fine of up to $500. However, discharging a firearm or displaying a firearm in a manner calculated to alarm is a Class B misdemeanor, which can result in up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.
The 'right' answer varies from person to person. Generally speaking, pleading not guilty is a better strategy because it will give you time to investigate the details of the case. If you plead not guilty at the first court appearance (the arraignment), you can always plead guilty at a later court appearance.
In some states, disorderly conduct charges may simply expire and automatically be removed from a person's record. However, other states will require a person to petition for expungement.
