My question involves criminal law for the state of: CA - If you are asked a question by a Police Officer and you answer with a "lie", is that against the law? If so what is the PC code? (Example - Q: Is the dog here/on the property now? A: No, I gave the dog away and can not get it back.) Also, if I have a copy of the filed Police report what recourse do I have against the person(s) who lied?
