On the other hand, I think in Germany you could be charged with pretending to have committed a crime.
That’s just filling a false report. That’s illegal almost anywhere, but you need to be more specific than what’s in the post.

:D If this thread reaches the wrong people, society as we know it will end! What have we done!?
