1. Is it a crime to file a false police report or complaint? If so will the person be arrested? if so
a. What type of crime is it (i.e. misdemeanor, felony, etc)?
B. For a 1st time offender usually what is the punishment (i.e. fine, community service, etc.)?
2. Once it is deemed that the report/complaint was false can the victim sue (in civil court) the person who made the complaint? If yes
What would be the basis (i.e. libel, slander, etc)?
Thanks.
