Lying to a local LEO is not always illegal. My (non-lawyer) understanding is that lying in ways that misidentify you is always illegal in California. Especially during a traffic stop. Basic Googling suggests CVC 31 (or CVC 20 if it's a state trooper)

Yes, lying about your primary government identity is ill-advised.

Lying and saying that you don’t have a social media account isn’t so clear.
