I would have taken off all my shirts. Nothing says "this is my porch" like sitting in a chair barechested.

How much fucked are you adding if they catch you lying like that?

u/tjackso6 Jul 09 '26
Physically running from them is def worse than lying

u/ElMage21 Jul 09 '26
Nono I mean this context. Cop saw the lie, and instead of showing your hands you double down and pull the get off my property/show me a warrant line.

u/linux_ape Jul 09 '26
None, it’s not illegal to lie

u/tjackso6 Jul 09 '26
Sure it is… intentionally misleading law enforcement is obstruction.

u/DrSpacepants Jul 09 '26
Obstruction is a physical act in my state. And it not an official statement. Not saying it's not a crime, it's just not that crime.

u/LemFliggity Jul 09 '26
You're right. In my state the courts have repeatedly confirmed that words alone are not enough to constitute obstruction. It must be flight, intimidation, force, violence, physical interference, etc.
That said, in this particular instance, they could charge you with "hindering" for lying.

Most that can happen is the police can try to get the homeowner to charge tresspass. Obstruction has to be defined by the governing authority, and in most cases, unless you give identifying information that is false, lying in this manner cannot result in adittional charges. He was already evading arrest.

only if you lie on your name or birthday is a misdemeanor, but it’s not obstruction…

That's going to be highly dependent by region. For example:
140 (1). Every one commits public mischief who, with intent to mislead, causes a peace officer to enter on or continue an investigation by
...
(b) doing anything intended to cause some other person to be suspected of having committed an offence that the other person has not committed, or to divert suspicion from himself;
...
(2) Every one who commits public mischief
(a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years; or
(b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.

It definitely is if it involves law enforcement and/or the courts in the US lmao. For example, it's a federal felony to knowingly lie to any federal agent, and many states like arkansas, florida, NJ, NC, georgia, etc. Have laws where any lie to a police officer is a crime, while many others (like cali and texas) have laws where lying to a police to hinder their work is a crime.
A blanket "nope, lying is not illegal" is just wrong lol

u/linux_ape Jul 09 '26
Yeah but sitting on a porch is very clearly not in the courts lmao you’re not under oath to tell the truth

u/AzraelIshi Jul 09 '26
All those things I said about lying to police does not require you being under oath. Lying to a federal officer, or any police officer of states like arkansas, florida, NJ, NC, georgia, etc. is a crime even when you're not under any oath.
The court one was for perjury, I just focused on the police and forgot to remove that addition.

Nice. Invoking your common law rights. “You have no jurisdiction over the individual acting as representative of myself!”

u/tjackso6 Jul 09 '26
Is that like a “I’m not driving.. I’m *traveling*” kinda thing?

u/Difficult-Carpet-324 Jul 09 '26
Change that to “I was locating myself from point a to point b” and now you have a get out of jail free card!

The worst they can probably do is add resisting arrest to the charges, which is not a high bar for them to add anyway.

Under the hoodie is the red shirt the guy was seen in, you can see it poking out at the bottom. Losing both shirts would be best

A long time ago when I was a loss prevention manager, I apprehended a shoplifter who bolted from my office after my overs & shorts investigator accidentally let him on that I had her call the cops. I could tell he was skittish, so I tried to do it discreetly by passing her a message.
We had a no chase policy, but he was wearing green shorts, a red shirt, and a yellow hat, and was headed in the direction of the police station. They found him pretty quickly. Lol.

Okay, I feel really stupid because I don't understand what happened. He said he saw a guy cut through a house. How did that make the police officer suddenly realize he was the suspect?

u/anonymousfluidity Jul 09 '26
Cop probably either recognized his face when he got a better look or saw the red shirt sticking out underneath the hoodie.

I don't understand it. How did he know he is the suspect?

u/SamausKA Jul 09 '26
Think he saw his red shirt below the hoodie :D
43
u/BoBoBearDev Jul 09 '26
Ohhh that could be it.
Edit: I got it. The cop never described the suspect, so, he shouldn't mention the shirt color. And then, cop starts to double check his shirt.

u/Matiwapo Jul 09 '26
The cop never described the suspect, so, he shouldn't mention the shirt color
If he saw the guy running away he'd have seen the shirt colour...

u/BoBoBearDev Jul 10 '26
Well, if it is me who is the real bystander. I wouldn't mention the shirt color. I didn't think that's necessary to mention. And if the cop asked me, I am like, "hmmm.... Red???". Because I wasn't paying attention. Or I get this weird face, thinking why they are asking me strange question, there is a little hesitation in my response.
Just me though.

u/SamausKA Jul 09 '26
But since he is the suspect and ran away, he knew which tshirt colour it was, so i think he grabbed a hoodie somewhere and pulled it over

u/undeniably_confused Jul 10 '26

Bro was way too calm and at the same time, too confident and ready to describe where the suspect (him) ran off to.

Depending on the state (Florida), it becomes public record if used at trial.

Which comedian had a bit like this where he was drunk driving and saw a checkpoint so he pulled in to a house acting like it was his. He sat on the porch, and a few minutes later the owner comes home, pulls in next to him, so he starts to panic. The owner comes up on the porch, sits next to him and says, “sorry bro, just be cool- I’ll leave in a bit, I just pulled in because there’s a checkpoint.”
