MINNESOTA DISORDERLY CONDUCT LAWYERS & ATTORNEYS
Minnesota has a disorderly conduct law that makes it a crime to disturb the peace. It is often used as a "catch-all" crime. Law enforcement may use a disorderly conduct charge to keep the peace when people behave in a disruptive manner but poses no threat of harm to the community. Disorderly conduct is a misdemeanor.
DISORDERLY CONDUCT
The Minnesota disorderly conduct statute describes behavior that constitutes a crime:
- Engages in brawling or fighting; or
- Disturbs an assembly or meeting, not unlawful; or
- Engages in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct or in offensive, obscene, or abusive language tending reasonably to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.
- A person does not violate this section if an epileptic seizure caused the person's disorderly conduct.
