There is no penalty for giving a local or state police officer false information unless you are doing it to commit a crime, such as insurance fraud, or helping someone commit a crime or helping someone escape punishment.It is not smart to lie to a police officer because he can usually tell you are lying and he will not be happy.It is a crime to lie to federal law enforcement agents.ADDED: The first statement may be true in the area the contributor is from but it is NOT TRUE in many/most jurisdictions. Giving a false report of an offense requiring investigative and law enforcment action, and possibly involving other individuals in an offense which never happened, IS a crime!ADDED: In the state of Nevada, giving false info to a police officer is "obstruction of Justice". I don't know what the penalty is exactly but my roommate is in jail now for that very same thing. She has been there 2days so far and will be there for six more days, her court appearance, unless she makes bail. The kicker is that she's the one who called the police over something trivial that they have no control over and she gave them a fake name. She wasn't expecting them to run her name I guess since it was only a domestic dispute and no crime was committed. Long story short, give your real info because they will find out.
