Of course without committing a crime before and without saying anything else.

    Good question. There are probably some constellations where the police would be like: We got plenty of matching testimonies for you. We charge you and this could send you to jail for 80 years or you pleat guilty and accept 5 years.

    On the other hand, I think in Germany you could be charged with pretending to have committed a crime.

    Criminal Code (StGB) § Section 145d Pretending to have committed a criminal offense

    (1) Any person who, contrary to his better knowledge, pretends to an authority or to a body competent to receive reports that an unlawful act has been committed […] shall be liable to a custodial sentence not exceeding three years or to a monetary penalty […].

      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.

      submit report saying I violated this law

      instant “this sentence is false”-style paradox

      legal system implodes. Complete anarchy takes over
