Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

In Ohio, you have the right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. But if your speech or actions in speaking creates a problem that rises to the level of disorderly conduct, that might give rise to criminal charges against you.

For example, while you may have the right to call the officer a pig, if the officer is trying to get evidence from a victim of a crime and time is of the essence and you are yelling that he is a pig so that he can't hear his victim telling him what clothing her attacker wore, then you might get charged with disorderly conduct and have those charges stick.
