What is disorderly conduct in DC? Disorderly conduct codified at DC Code 22-1321, is a misdemeanor charge in Washington, D.C. Any conduct that is open to the general public that:
Yes if you play music louder than what a reasonable person would play. Unreasonable sound has been defined as anything greater than 60 decibels. To put into perspective normal conversation is about 60 dB, a lawn mower is about 90 dB, and a loud rock concert is about 120 dB. You should also note that between the hours of 10:00 pm and 7:00 am you should not go above 55 decibels.
This is sound limits in the District of Columbia
No, generally you can curse someone out as long as the cursing is not impeding or disrupting the orderly conduct of a lawful public gathering.
The maximum penalty for disorderly conduct in the District of Columbia is 90 days and/or $500.00 dollars.
Obviously, disorderly conduct is not the crime of the century. The District of Columbia does not stand to benefit by getting a conviction so we can resolve most cases through some form of diversion. Diversion is a way to resolve the case without a conviction.
If you received diversion and you want to seal your arrest record you have to wait 2 years before you can file a motion to seal the record.
