You would have committed perjury. You could go to jail, but in most cases it is more likely to result in a fine. It will depend on the type of document and what the consequences of lying were.
It's going to depend on the circumstances - were you obstructing an investigation or did you just have a momentary case of "I screwed up".
For the latter, "Lying to a Police Officer" is a misdemeanor, if you are prosecuted, most likely your punishment will be probation of some kind, as well as fines.
It varies by state but if you gave the wrong information to avoid arrest, that is a much more serious situation - you could be charged with "identity fraud", which could lead to jail time - sorry I can't be more precise - from the information given.

No, MattyB is not lying about his age.
I don't think you'll get in trouble by lying about your age on Facebook or any other social-networking sites. You can even actually do that in making email accounts or any other accounts. And I think every underaged users do that as well.

There is no point! It's the wrong thing to do and you'll defiantly feel guilt when you do lie. Lying hrs you into more trouble so just don't do it!
