Consequences for Giving False Information to Law Enforcement Officers

Periodically I have posted links to Vermont State Laws so that you can learn more about the motor vehicle laws we have and also the criminal statutes that we enforce.

This particular law that is being posted today has been a subject we have been dealing with lately with false reporting on the parts of supposed victims.

This can also be used if someone uses a false name and try's to conceal their identity.

(a) A person who knowingly gives false information to any law enforcement officer with purpose to implicate another or to deflect an investigation from the person or another person shall be imprisoned for not more than one year or fined not more than $1,000.00, or both.
