Hey, you got something against the district attorneys?
Disorderly Conduct (Persons) is someone who is behaving against the peace and order of the city or state. Every state has different laws that govern each sovereign so they vary but often the punishment is a misdemeanor of 6 months to a year in jail and or a fine.

depends on what you did. being disorderly can be anything from walking down the road yelling and carrying on... to jumping off walls at a shopping center.
it's a blanket term.
we have to use disorderly as a term from everything from standing around doing nothing to someone throwing bottles at trash cans and everything in btwn.... it's up to the officer that responds to change the code for disposition purposes

It's a very broad blanket term. Basically it means the offender did something that was disturbing the area they are in. pretty minor offense.
