Is it against the law To lie to a police officer about being on felony probation?

As with most police-related questions, it depends on the circumstances. Specific law also varies from state to state. It is not always a crime to lie to the police. If you are providing a sworn written statement and you lie, it is a crime. If you are intentionally providing false information intended to mislead a law enforcement officer in the course of his/her duties, it is a crime. If you falsely report an incident or a crime, that is a crime. If you are stopped for speeding, and the police officer asks if you know how fast you were going, and you lie when you answer, that is not a crime. As a general rule, if the police officer is investigating something and you intentionally lie in order to protect yourself or someone else, or in order to intentionally mislead the officer, you may be guilty of a crime.
