difference between misdemeanor and disorderly conduct
I know what the charge is and what it is for. According to NY Penal Law Code, PL 240.20 Disordery Conduct, states that it is a violation whereas PL 240.21 is a Class A Misdemeanor and 240.25 is a Class B Misdemeanor. I ment to ask what is the difference between the classes of misdemeanors and a violation. There must be some difference or they would have grouped it together with the other misdeameanors instead of calling it a violation.
