Re: Penal Code Definition

That Penal Code Section does not exist. It would fall in between disruption of a religious service and harassment in the first degree. Feel free to call me at 646-209-8213 to clarify and discuss your situation.

Re: Penal Code Definition

While I do not have the specific section in front of me, I assume you are referring to 'harassment'. Every criminal law attorney has a great deal of experience with this section. This section is a catch-all crime. It covers a wide range of behaviors; including what we think of a s harassment, nuisance, and battery. It now replaces battery and covers violent touchings (a punch in the nose). It is very reasonable to me that you are confused by this section. It is used to cover so many behaviors. You are welcome to a consultation at my offices for no fee at 42 West 44th St, NY,NY. Please call for an apointment first -646-591-5786.
