Disorderly conduct, or breaching the peace, is charged against "[w]hoever commits such acts as are of a nature to corrupt the public morals, or outrage the sense of public decency, or affect the peace and quiet of persons who may witness them..." among other offenses. This charge may be brought against people caught fighting in public or making a loud noise in a quiet place.
