You should check your local statutes because, depending on the jurisdiction, the terminology may be determined by the offense that the filing pertained to.





For example, in New York state there are three sections of the penal code for filing false police reports: 240.50 - Falsely Reporting an Incident in the Third Degree, 240.55 - Falsely Reporting an Incident in the Second Degree and 240.60 - Falsely Reporting an Incident in the First Degree.
