SCOTTSDALE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DISORDERLY CONDUCT ATTORNEY

Disorderly Conduct Lawyer in Scottsdale

Disorderly conduct is usually charged as a misdemeanor although it can be charged as a felony if it involves the reckless handling of a gun or other deadly weapon / dangerous instrument.  Misdemeanor disorderly conduct can be charged as a domestic violence offense in Scottsdale several different ways.  The law defining disorderly conduct is Arizona Revised Statute 13-2904 which provides no fewer than five definitions of misdemeanor disorderly conduct.  The statute refers to things like making "unreasonable noise" or engaging in "seriously disruptive" behavior.  Obviously, these broad definitions permit the police to insert their own judgment and gives them the legal authority to arrest you for being disruptive - even in your own house.  As an experienced former domestic violence prosecutor, Scottsdale Attorney Joshua S. Davidson has seen the police abuse the disorderly conduct laws all too often to justify an arrest in the absence of any crime.
