I recently bot a car at a police auction (and it runs!) for $175. I would get a great kick out of filling out a 'police report' and taking a black marker, and crossing out the case # names/addresses of 'people involved', and all other 'important information.' It would read something like this: At 12:03 PM, ------ ------ was sitting in a 1994 Plymouth Acclaim registered to---- ----- in the parking lot of --- ----- Avenue. Victim was killed by 2 gunshots to the chest, according to the Medical Examiner ---- -------
- Officer -------
OK. So would there by anything illegal about this? I can't imagine, since there is actually no relevant information to support anything on this one.
I am pretty sure I will get many answers saying 'Yes, I *think* it is illegal.' or 'No, I don't think it is illegal, but I don't know.'
Please don't answer if you don't know... plenty of other pages 2 get 2 points. Some girls believe anything, you know... Perhaps some ketchup as supporting 'evidence'

If you fill out a report, it becomes a legal document once it is signed ...
leave the signature blank and then cover with the black marker (nothing scribbled underneath) and it is just a piece of paper - and a great "April Fool's joke".
Try coming up with a less messy death to keep with the look of the car

I would call the auction that you purchased it at, or the Police Department that the police report was filled out from, just to be safe, but I'm guess as long as you are not giving any personal information it should be ok.

It is illegal to fill out a false report.

police reports are public record, you may go and get the real police report and show the real police report with nothing crossed out.

As long as you don't really report it and don't use a real police report to do it, you should be okay.
It is kinda funny.
