One time I found a wallet on the beach and took to the local cop station.

They started questioning me in a way that seemed to suspect me of something. When they asked for a name and address I gave a fake name and 'no fixed abode'.

F#ck them I say, the suspicious bastards

For what’s it’s worth, depending on jurisdiction you either have to respond to these questions or not, but it’s always wrong to lie.

I'm not sure about state/local police but it's definitely illegal if it's a federal officer: https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual...

No, lying to cops is always correct.

Yeah! ACAB! etc. I meant wrong in terms of lawful/legal.
