I think the only lying which should be a crime is the lying under oath, or perjury. Other than that, if you can make a libel case stick than I say go for it, otherwise if I wanna walk around saying I caught a 45 pound steelhead using nothing but a tootsie roll and my incredible charm, then I should be able to. Do you agree?

I mean If I say the sky is green and it's really blue should I be arrested? No, but lying about things is already against the law in some ways. Ummmm false crime reporting, libel, there are some things.

Of course, you have the right to express your opinion, but you can't yell "Fire" in a crowded theater, which of course would be lying. I'm not saying I support this ordance, just wondering about the actual legal ramifications.
