> I reported the crime to the police

It's typically frowned upon, in a manner of speaking, to file false reports. This would be a terribly stupid campaign.

It's not a crime to pretend you filed a false report on a blog site though, as long as you don't ACTUALLY speak to the police.

Lying? Oh yeah, they came out with it last year. I've been having some limited success with it.
