Legal Question in Criminal Law in Wisconsin

Multiple Charges for the Same Event

Actually, it is fairly common for officers to cite people for the same offense more than once if their behavior doesn't improve after the first ticket is issued. This is legal and allowed, provided that each charge relates to a separate act. For some crimes such as as disorderly conduct, there is an argument that it was all the same ongoing course of conduct ("tending to cause a disturbance" under the State DC statute). If all tickets were for the exact same act, you would have a double jeopardy argument in criminal court and could get all but one of the tickets dismissed in court if you have an experienced lawyer. You really needs an experienced criminal lawyer as soon possible.
