It is conduct that tends to alarm, anger, disturb or provoke an assault or breach of peace. Unfortunately, disorderly conduct is defined pretty broadly. It can be attached to many forms of conduct and is therefore easily abused by the police.Another view: Disorderly conduct is a MISDEMEANOR charge for which you cannot be jailed for more than one year. As far as the above response describes its alleged "easy abuse" - it is an opinion of the contributor and not a factual statement. It is a subjective offense that, much like pornography is best described as, "you know it when you see it" It is mainly only defense attornies who will try to convince you that the charge is universally abused.
