Deeprig, your rig has sunk....with you in it.
It is illegal to lie to the police in most circumstances. It is a crime to lie about your identity to a law enforcement officer during a traffic stop or while being placed under arrest. Filing a false police report is also a crime. The most serious offense, however, is perjury, which can be a felony.
Don't ever lie to them. Tell the truth; better yet, keep your mouth shut until you get a lawyer.

It’s almost never a good idea to be honest with a cop, but it’s not good if you get caught lying to them.
