f the police at a police officer that was on the side of the road
Answer by Jay K. Nixon, Criminal Defense Attorney with
offices in Kenosha & Janesville, WI.
Disorderly conduct is the most
vaguely defined crime of our criminal code in WI, but has withstood several
constitutional challenges based upon vagueness,
Nobody has actually needs to be disturbed, but the government must prove
that disturbance of somebody other than the police car was likely. My experience is that juries often convict
people, even on weaker cases than you mention, but much will depend upon where
this yelling was done. For example,
disturbing someone is not likely on a lonely country road in an uninhabited
area. In town, however, yelling is
nearly always likely to disturb somebody.
Either way, you have a defenseable case, or least a negotiable one, if
you get an experienced local attorney, so do that if you really want to fight
this.
