Penalty: Violation

It is illegal to pretend to be someone else, fake being a government employee, pretend to be a law enforcement officer, or falsely claim to have a disability—all with intent to defraud or injure another person. It is also illegal to falsely claim to be a military member or veteran by wearing unearned medals or rank. Base violation is a Class B misdemeanor (up to 6 months jail, $500 fine), but can be enhanced to Class A misdemeanor for certain types of impersonation, such as pretending to be a law enforcement officer while acting like one.

Penalty: Class B misdemeanor; 6 months; fine up to $500
