Question: 1 / 400

What legal violation is Arnold committing by refusing to leave the bar after being asked to do so?

Disorderly Conduct

Criminal Trespass

Arnold is committing Criminal Trespass by refusing to leave the bar after being asked to do so. Criminal Trespass typically involves entering or remaining on a property without permission from the owner or the person in control of that property. In this scenario, the bar is private property, and the staff has the authority to request that patrons leave. When Arnold ignores that request, he is unlawfully remaining on the premises, which constitutes a violation of trespassing laws.

Disorderly Conduct generally refers to behavior that disturbs the peace, but does not specifically address the refusal to leave a private property. Similarly, Public Disturbance usually involves disruptive behavior in a public space but does not necessarily pertain to remaining on private property against the owner's wishes. Assault, while a serious offense involving threats or actual harm to another person, does not fit this scenario unless there is direct physical confrontation, which is not indicated here. Therefore, the most accurate answer reflecting Arnold's legal violation in this context is Criminal Trespass.
