False Statements to Police Officers

Frequently, when people are detained by the police they try to get out of trouble by telling stories. These stories can include who they are, where they live and what they are doing. Lying about who you are to a police officer is a misdemeanor. If you give the officer the name of another person, the district attorney can file felony charges against you because you put the other person's freedom at risk, by exposing them to arrest for an offense they didn't commit.
