Offenses Against the State and Public Justice
Giving false information to a peace officer in connection with a citation or warrant
Notes of Decisions
Defendant must act with knowledge that police officer requested identification for purpose of issuing citation. State v. Jaha, 118 Or App 497, 848 P2d 622 (1993)
Defendant’s conviction of giving false information to peace officer was overturned because officer who received false information had not personally observed defendant’s conduct and thus lacked authority to issue citation. State v. Dickey, 315 Or App 501, 500 P3d 688 (2021)
