Here is a news story about a police department in Leicester, Massachusetts who is trying to get stiffer penalties for those who make false allegations.
Some excerpts:
“Citing fraudulent crime reports in his town and around the area, Police Chief James J. Hurley said stiffer penalties for filing false police reports are needed. Those accused face harsher penalties than those making false claims against them, he said.” “Chief Hurley said, ‘The punishment for this type of crime needs to be increased. If you fraudulently accuse someone of a crime that could put them in jail for 20 years, then the person who fraudulently reports the crime should face the same penalty.’”A link to the full article is below:
