And if the judge disagrees that cheering was criminally disturbing the peace - does the school official get hauled up on charges of filing a false police report?
Really? Are we going to go down that path?
Complaints are made (using general terms) based on "knowledge and belief". To require anything more stringent would be saying you have to establish/prove guilt before there can be a trial to establish/prove guilt.
Now, if the complainant alleges acts that can be proven did not happen (shouting) there is the possibility of being charged with filing a false report. Pretty much what's supposed to happen in SWATing cases.
If in fact shouting did occur it becomes the duty of the trier of fact (judge or jury) to determine if the shouting that took place satisfies the elements of the crime alleged.
So, in answer to your question - No. The report was filed in good faith, based on the complainant's knowledge and belief, that the action disturbed the peace. Now it's up to the judicial system to determine if that is supported by the evidence when held up to to the legislative definition of the crime. Mississippi law
http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/mscode/ has the elements of either bothering other people or acting in a way calculated to bother other people.
§ 97-35-15. Disturbance of the public peace or the peace of others; exception
(1) Any person who disturbs the public peace, or the peace of others, by violent, or loud, or insulting, or profane, or indecent, or offensive, or boisterous conduct or language, or by intimidation, or seeking to intimidate any other person or persons, or by conduct either calculated to provoke a breach of the peace, or by conduct which may lead to a breach of the peace, or by any other act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than Five Hundred Dollars ($ 500.00) or by imprisonment in the county jail not more than six (6) months, or both.
Anybody want to show the behavior complained of does not meet the elements of the crime?
Personally I prefer the way Va defines the crime - intent is the primary factor, as opposed to someone's feelings being hurt.
Note to self: if I ever visit Mississippi remember to behave at all times as if I were a little kid visiting Great Aunt Emily. (She was the one who found that just about anything a kid could do was offensive.)
stay safe.
