Re: false police report

False report of a felony crime is itself a felony: MCL 750.411a(1)(b), carrying up to 4 Years and/or $2,000.00 fine.

False report of a misdemeanor crime is a misdemeanor: MCL 750.411a(1)(a), carrying up to 93 Days and/or $500.00 fine.

Other "false report" crimes are more specific, like making a false bomb threat (also a felony), etc.
