What Is Disorderly Conduct Under Massachusetts Law?
In Massachusetts, disorderly conduct is defined under M.G.L. c. 272 §53 as engaging in:

🔹 Creating hazardous or offensive conditions without legitimate purpose
Penalties Include:
💰 First offense: Fine up to $150
⛓️ Subsequent offenses: Up to 6 months in jail and/or fine up to $200
