§ 133.318 Providing false foreign restraining order; false representation to peace officer

If someone shows a police officer a fake restraining order from another state, knowing it isn't real or isn't valid, they can be charged with a crime. This also applies if someone hands over an order that used to be valid but no longer is, while claiming it still counts.

The law also covers lying to police about the details of a real order. If someone tells an officer that a restraining order is the newest one between the two people, or claims the other person was officially served with the order or already knows about it, and the person says this knowing it's false, that's also a crime.

Both of these actions are Class A misdemeanors in Oregon. This is the most serious type of misdemeanor, and a conviction can lead to fines and time in jail. The law exists to stop people from misusing restraining orders or lying to police to get someone else arrested or in trouble.
