Well, if they find out then you'd get in BIG trouble. If you were to play a joke on an officer and it was mean, you would probably get arrested. (prank calls, jokes, insults.)
Added: If you lie to them while during the course of a criminal investigation, you could be charged with a criminal offense, "Obstruction of Justice."
Yes, if it is serious than you can go to jail. But other wise you will be fined even probation/porol community service hours and anything else that the judge decides on. They can even dismiss the case.
You may not lie to a federal officer conducting an investigation. In many states, there is no requirement to tell a state investigating officer the truth unless you are under oath. There is no obligation anywhere to tell any authority anything. The wisest course of action is to always talk to an attorney before you ever talk to authorities. If you need information on a state or federal criminal case, seek information from your attorney or from an attorney at your local public defender's office.
It depends what you are lying about. If he asks what you think about his hair style, you are not legally obligated to tell him the truth. If he is pursuing a criminal investigation and you lie about that, you are guilty of obstructing justice.
If you lie to police about a crime, whether you are a witness, the victim, or the accused, you can be charged with falsifying information. Failing to disclose something is not a crime. You cannot be forced to make statements that would incriminate you, and you have a right to a lawyer during any statement to the police. But lying to them is a different matter.
Unless the false statement was big, and was demonstrably false when you said it, chances are that you will not have any huge pain from this. If you (for example) provided a fake name and address to an officer who randomly stopped you, you might get nothing, you might get a fine. But if you told the police that you have a driving license, but left it home, oh yes, insurance too and a pack of lies, they seriously could convict you on a misdemeanor.
It depends on what the law of the particular jurisdiction calls it. and it may take many forms (e.g.: Giviing false statements - Filing a false report - Misleading a criminal investigation - etc - etc). It is not perjury because you are not under oath when you are being questioned by the police. Perjury would only apply if you testified falsely in court while under oath.
If the police officer is investigating a crime, it is a crime to lie to him/her concerning the crime.
