Disorderly conduct laws focus on public safety. In Illinois disorderly conduct law prohibits disturbing the peace or engaging in unreasonable conduct that alarms or disturbs others. For example, someone might disturb the peace by yelling or arguing in a public place.
Besides prohibiting disorderly conduct, the state also makes illegal other specific acts because those acts could waste public resources or unnecessarily cause public fear or stress. Accordingly, Illinois state laws include several other types of acts that qualify as disorderly conduct:
- making a false report of a fire or fire alarm
- making a false report of a bomb or explosive device
- making a false report of a crime in progress or a past crime, or requesting emergency response services while knowing that assistance is unnecessary
- making a false report about an abused or neglected child
- making a false report to the Department of Public Health
- entering another person's property to look into a dwelling for a lewd or otherwise unlawful purpose
- using harassment or intimidation as a debt collector or collection agent #illinoisdisorderlyconductlaws,
