Public nuisance

Public nuisance is when someone does something that affects a lot of people in a bad way. It can mean noise that bothers people, a place that people don't want to be around because it isn't safe, or maybe even something smelly or dirty that isn't good for people in the area. For example, if someone threw trash in the street, it could be a public nuisance because it affects a lot of people and makes them unhappy.
