Public Intoxication (PC 647f) Defense
To prove public intoxication, prosecutors must demonstrate you were so intoxicated in a public place that you were unable to exercise care for your own safety or obstructed a public walkway. Being drunk in public alone is not a crime.
Resolving Misdemeanor Disorderly Conduct Charges
We regularly secure informal diversion, alcohol education classes, or community service to dismiss PC 647 charges without a permanent criminal record.
