If you told the public a false statement is that braking the law?

That depends on the type and severity of the lie. If you lie to get support from the public such as faking an injury and gaining charity, this is fraud. Public officials lie all the time about certain things and this is not illegal, immoral but there is no law banning a person from telling a lie.

Promissory estoppel is when a person makes a false statement to another and the listener relies on what was told to him/her in good faith and to his/her disadvantage.
Is the Converse of a false statement always false?
Let's take an example.If it is raining (then) the match will be cancelled.A conditional statement is false if and only if the antecedent (it is raining) is true and the consequent (the match will be cancelled) is false. Thus the sample statement will be false if and only if it is raining but the match still goes ahead.By convention, if the antecedent is false (if it isn't raining) then the statement as a whole is considered true regardless of whether the match takes place or not.To recap: if told that the sample statement is false, we can deduce two things: It is raining is a true statement, and the match will be cancelled is a false statement. Also, we know a conditional statement with a false antecedent is always true.The converse of the statement is:If the match is cancelled (then) it is raining.Since we know (from the fact that the original statement is false) that the match is cancelled is false, the converse statement has a false antecedent and, by convention, such statements are always true.Thus the converse of a false conditional statement is always true. (A single example serves to show it's true in all cases since the logic is identical no matter what specific statements you apply it to.)If you are familiar with truth tables, the explanation is much easier. Here is the truth table for A = X->Y (i.e. A is the statement if X then Y) and B = Y->X (i.e. B is the converse statement if Y then X).X Y A BF F T TF F T TT F F TF T T FLooking at the last two rows of the A and B columns, when either of the statements is false, its converse is true.
What is the definition of statement?
The definition of statement is a subject that can be true or false; a statement can be both spoken and written. it can be a rumor or a math subject spread around to others. an example sentence would be: " Mrs. Emanuela told Nyla and Taylar to stop making mean statements about Andres.
A man was to be sentenced and the judge told him You may make a statement If it is true I'll sentence you to four years in prison If it is false I'll sentence you to six years in prison After?
A man was to be sentenced, and the judge told him, "You may make a statement. If it is true, I'll sentence you to four years in prison. If it is false, I'll sentence you to six years in prison." After the man made his statement, the judge decided to let him go free. What did the man say?He said, "You'll sentence me to six years in prison." If it was true, then the judge would have to make it false by sentencing him to four years. If it was false, then he would have to give him six years, which would make it true. Rather than contradict his own word, the judge set the man free.
The defendant does not have the right to be told of the charges against himher?
Yes, in the US justice system the defendant always must be told what he or she is charged with.
A man walks up to you and says - everything I say to you is a lie Is he telling the truth or lying?
It's a paradox, if you answer anyway is wrong.If he's telling the truth them he would be lying, if he was lying then he would be telling the truth.He's lyingThere's no paradox. Just because it's not true that he always lies does not mean that he never lies. He lies sometimes, just like everyone else.Now, if he said 'This sentence is a lie', that would be a paradox.Indeed there is no paradox. The definition of a paradox implies that something is both true and false. There is a big mistake in the quite commonly accepted explanation from above: "if he was lying then he would be telling the truth". If someone lies, then he's NOT telling the truth, because he's lying. If he's lying when making this statement, the definition of lying implies that the statement itself is a lie, meaning in this case that he's not always lying. If he's telling the truth when saying he always lies, then that statement is also a lie, because he isn't always lying, he just told the truth. Actually, it doesn't matter if he's lying or telling the truth because either way this statement is a lie so it can never be true. Hence it's not a paradox.(For the statement to be true it can never be spoken out loud. Because when you tell someone you always lie, either you have to tell the truth about that which makes your statement false again or you lie about always lying, which again makes this statement a lie)ParadoxIf a man says, "I always lie", then the moment before he said it, it could have been either true or false that he always lies. If the man had ever told the truth, at any time in his life prior to making this statement, then the statement is simply false, and he is lying.But consider what happens if the statement was true prior to him saying so. If every word ever spoken by this man, prior to making that statement, was a lie, then it would have been accurate for someone else to say, about him, "he always lies". However, the moment he said it himself, he has told the truth, for once in his life, So, at first analysis, the statement is true.However, if the statement is true, then his "perfect record" of lying is no longer intact, i.e., it is no longer true that he "always lies", making the statement false the moment it is uttered.So far, that is in agreement with those who claim there is no paradox. However, those claims fail to carry this scenario all the way out. You see, if the statement is false, as we have just established, then the man's "perfect record" of lying is now intact once again. And it is true that he "always lies", making the statement true.But if the statement is true, then it is no longer true that he always lies, and therefore the statement is false. But if the statement is false then it is again true that he always lies, and so the statement is true.And on and on and on. That is why this is a paradox (if the statement was true before he said it). If it is true, it is false; and if it is false, it is true. Simply being true makes it false. Simply being false makes it true. So it is true and false at the same time. I think someone said that was the very definition of a paradox.So to summarize, if the man had ever told the truth prior to making this statement, then this statement is simply false. However, if he had never told the truth prior to making this statement, then the statement is, in fact, a paradox.
What can you do about not being hired cause someone called in to your job and told false information?
If you know who did this and know what they said is untrue then you have been slandered. ('slander' - a false and malicious statement or report about someone). You recourse is to sue the person for damages - to do this you would need to hire a solicitor (attorney). There is little you can do about the job you missed.
What happens to you when you want to withdraw a police statement?
As a rule, you're not permitted to withdraw an official statement once it has been recorded. You could recant the statement in court, but the prosecutor is probably going to ask if you were untruthful at the time you made the statement. That could invite criminal liability, as it's usually a criminal offense to make a false report to the police.
