It's already a crime to file a false police report. Further, it doesn't seem like any of the incidents cited would qualify for prosecution under this law.

  • Not leaving after being asked to leave is trespassing, and calling the police about it is a legitimate report.

  • The fitness place is also a case of reporting trespassing. There isn't enough information in the article to show why the membership wasn't acknowledged, but in the end, even if someone has a membership, they can be asked to leave and trespassed if they don't. If the fitness place doesn't fulfill their contractual obligations that's a civil matter.

  • Calling the campus police because someone made you nervous isn't a false report, it's strictly factual; it's not like they alleged something was being done. If they're stupid about it it's up to the police to chastize them.

  • Boy trespassed when cutting grass, also strictly factual.

  • Threatened to call the police - so she didn't actually call 911 or report anything.

tl;dr This is just more virtue signaling and a useless law.
