There are several ways to get into trouble in Oklahoma by making false statements to police.

First, if you make a false report of a crime, you could be convicted of a misdemeanor and spend up to 90 days in jail, or pay a $500 fine, or both. If you make a false report of a child abduction then it is a felony punishable by up to one year in jail and NOT LESS THAN $1000 fine, or both.

Second, if you know about a crime, but lie about it in order to conceal it, and you accept the promise of something (like money) to keep it concealed, then you could be convicted of something as serious as a felony and spend up to 5 years in prison.

There may be other laws I am not aware of that deal with making false statements to police in Oklahoma.

History of edward j garrity police of police?

Edward Garrity was Chief of Police of Bellmawr Pennsylvania. He and other officers were accused of ticket-fixing in the 1960s. When questionned about the matter, the officers were forced to make statements or lose their jobs. Then the prosecutor used their incriminating statements against them in Court. The US Supreme Court eventually heard their case and ruled that their Constitutional rights had been violated and they had been unduely coerced into making self-incriminating statements. Their Fifth Amendment right to be protected against self-incrimination had been violated. The Court ruled that police officers can be ordered to give statements relative to their performance of duty, or lose their jobs if they refuse, but their statements, if obtained in this manner, can not be used against them in a criminal prosecution.
