Can a person be prosecuted for yelling fire in a crowded building when there is no fire?

AnswerYes, it's called Reckless Endangerment. When you make an action like that intentionally and knowing that there is no such danger, it encourages an action in the crowd that you would have probable reason to suspect panic. People get injured in panics. To put people in danger knowingly and without justification is illegal in all states. But get hold of a lawyer for specific citations.AnswerYes, freedom of speech only pertains to things that do not endanger others. FALSELY yelling "FIRE!" in a crowd will get you arrested. It can cause unwanted panic and people can be injured.For information about the legal reference to "shouting fire in a crowded theater," see Related Questions, below.
