CIDSAC Law Practice Test

Which statement about false official statement is true?

Made official statement Knew it to be false Intent to deceive All of the above

Correct Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

False official statement requires three elements: the statement must be made as an official statement, it must be false, and the person making it must know it is false and intend to deceive. Each option captures one of those pieces: making an official statement, knowing it’s false, and aiming to deceive. When all three are present, the offense is satisfied, so choosing all of the above is the best answer. For example, a clerk who signs a report to a government agency, knowing it’s false and intending to mislead, would meet all elements. If any element is missing, the specific crime may not be met, though other offenses could apply.
