A quick definition of rout:

A rout is a type of crime that happens when three or more people gather together with the intention of doing something illegal. This is called an unlawful assembly. If they actually go through with their plan and start causing chaos and violence, it becomes a riot. Anyone who takes part in a rout, riot, or unlawful assembly is breaking the law and can be punished.

A more thorough explanation:

A rout is a type of crime that occurs before a riot, but after an unlawful assembly. It is considered an "allied disturbance of the public peace" along with unlawful assemblies and riots.

Specifically, a rout involves three or more people who are part of an unlawful assembly and intend to engage in an "unlawful design." If this design is carried out, it becomes a riot. Anyone who participates in a rout, riot, unlawful assembly, or affray is guilty of a misdemeanor.

  • A group of people gather in a park without a permit to protest a recent decision by the government. This is an unlawful assembly.
  • Within this group, three people discuss their plan to vandalize a nearby building. This is a rout.
  • If those three people carry out their plan and start breaking windows and setting fires, it becomes a riot.

These examples illustrate how a rout is a precursor to a riot and involves a group of people with an unlawful intention. It is important to note that participating in any of these activities is considered a crime and can result in legal consequences.
