Although some crimes are not specifically listed under the disorderly conduct statute, they may be treated as such in regard to prosecution and sentencing. For example, the crime of participating in a riot (Cal. Penal Code § 404) carries penalties similar to disorderly conduct.
This offense involves using or threatening to use unlawful force in a public place and carries a potential penalty of up to six months in county jail and $1,000 in fines. Disturbing the peace (Cal.
