[quote=Anonymous]Not much you can do if they're just outside walking up and down the street ranting during the day and not threatening anybody or making a ruckus inside a public building. Little thing called the First Amendment. :wink: Only law on the books relating to disturbing the peace in dc is as follows... In accordance with D.C. Official Code [b]§ 22-1321(d)[/b], “it is unlawful for a person to make an unreasonably loud noise between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. that is likely to annoy or disturb one or more other persons in their residences.” But it should be noted... Disorderly conduct arrests, including “Disorderly Conduct, Noise at Night,” [b]shall not[/b] be based on an individual’s conduct or language toward a member. Disorderly conduct arrests based merely on a person’s language, volume of voice, gestures, or attitude toward law enforcement [b]are not lawful arrests.[/b] [/quote]
