  2. Note to self: ALWAYS allege against others what you yourself have done.

  3.  @karlwhitehead3057  Correct. Absent a statement under oath, or at least to a state actor (like the police), it is up to the target to sue for defamation -- rarely useful or successful in situations like these. These are considered purely civil matters, and presumed to be protected speech until proven otherwise.

  4.  @ayandas874  Slander is not a crime if not coupled with a call to violence, other lawbreaking, etc., or unless it becomes part of a false police report, etc.

  5.  @mookiestewart3776  Exactly.

  6.  @StarScreamReee  Mookie answered whether it could be criminal. If a false report is made to the police, then yes, it could.

  7.  @sphereron  Not true. Where do you all get this?? Ordinary defamation is a CIVIL matter. It has to involve incitement to imminent violence, or some other actual threat, or be said directly to a state actor or government agent, or under oath, etc., to be a crime. Just plain defamation is NEVER a crime. Never, ever.

  8. No it hasn't. Everyone knows what $ide the bread is buttered on. Everyone knows what to $ay and why.

  10.  @StarScreamReee  No one said that making a false police report, or committing perjury, is generally punished. (We should all know by now that police perjury is often unpunished, for example.) The only point was that simple defamation is not, in general, a crime but a civil offense. Perjury is a crime. Making a false police report is a crime. In a lot of big cities, most murders are unsolved, and therefore unprosecuted -- nevermind perjury, or making false police reports.

  11.  @WhoopsyDaisyDoo  Not a crime.
