New Jersey S3683 amends the state's criminal code to establish a separate crime of knowingly filing a false report against law enforcement officers. This bill creates a third-degree crime for knowingly giving false information to law enforcement with the intent to implicate an officer in a crime, offense, or professional infraction warranting disciplinary action. Additionally, it establishes a fourth-degree crime for reporting an offense or incident that did not occur or pretending to provide information on such an offense or incident when the person knows they have no information.
