Isn't misrepsenting yourself to gain access to something a crime in itself?

[ck4829]

If you said you were a repairman or a police officer in order to gain entry into property and were able to get in; no force, no threats; I'm pretty sure that's still a crime, right?

If so, more charges should be added to James O'Keefe and the rest of the Lil' Plumbers.

1. Yes, I am almost sure that is false representation

And depending upon the situation, it could be stalking or other numerous charges.

2. If it was, the fraud Gov George Walker Bush would long ago have been locked up for life.

The guy pretended to have been elected. Then he lied the country into war and then enriched his cronies. And Holder covers up for the guy's torturer monkeys.

The Lil' Plumbers are in deep water. And so are their sponsors and at least one parent. The turd O'Keefe and the rest of his chums are nothing more than BFEE wannabes.

3. That makes every dating site on the intertubez and every pickup bar a hotbed of crime..

4. depends on the jurisdiction, but in the okeefe case, that IS

the primary charge. that they falsely represented themselves to gain access to a federal facility. that is a crime under the federal code.

under my state, there is no such law, in general.

6. That is what I heard as well. n/t

5. I believe that it depends on the local or state laws

It also generally only applies to professions like doctor, police, etc.
