Understanding Disturbing the Peace Laws in California, PC415

Penal Code 415 offenses are a big deal in California for basically two reasons. First, although population growth has tailed off recently, California is by far the most populous state in the country. Second, although immigration has leveled off recently, The Golden State has the most diverse populations in the country. So, lots of people who live together, may not necessarily have the same values. What some may consider excessive noise and activity can be seen by others as just getting together and being social.

But PC 415 is not really a noise complaint law. Loud noise only violates this law if there is malicious intent (pointing speakers at the neighbor’s house and cranking up the volume) and the noise is offensive in some way (violent or obscene content). This can make for a really fuzzy lens with which to look through when you are trying to decide if a law is being broken or if you are just irritated and need to do your best to ignore the irritation. Regardless of the time, you hear a loud noise in California, it’s usually best if you live in a complex or organized housing, to take up the issue with a landlord or a homeowners’ association.

Nevertheless, the three main disturbing the peace laws in California are very broad. Often, they are fallback provisions. If officers don’t have any other basis to arrest you, they may file disturbing the peace charges. If that happens in the greater Yuba-Sutter County area, you will probably need a Yuba City bail bonds office. Bail Bond Shealy provides bonding services for PC 415 offenses that could carry a maximum 90 days in jail and a $400-$800 fine.
