In 1995 California passed a law against filing false police reports. Phony lawsuits and tied up police in court.
A 30-year-old California law that makes it a crime to file a knowingly false complaint against a police officer and requires those who file complaints to be told they could face charges under the law. Now lookout for what comes next because the California Supreme Court said it violates freedom of speech by deterring people from reporting police misconduct.
