Perjuring yourself to a border agent is inadvisable. The legal threat follows you whether or not you are granted or denied entry. At any time, it may be discovered and lead to very serious criminal and administrative consequences.
If you simply refuse to give over the password, they can refuse entry. But they can't necessarily treat you as an actual criminal.
It is never a good idea to lie to, mislead or interfere with law enforcement officers. If you are having trouble, get a lawyer as quickly as you can.
Speaking of which: I am not a lawyer and consequently this is not legal advice.
- jboles 10y agoThere is no legal obligation to be truthful in what one places on their Facebook profile, however, so it's not perjuring. You can out on whatever you like and it's up to the border agent to make of it whatever they will.
- jacques_chester 10y agoIn criminal law, intention matters as much as actions. I suspect the that deliberately creating a false profile would push you into perjury territory. And in any case, even if the rulings come down otherwise, you'll still get arrested and remanded for a long time while the lawyers sort it out. Again, though: I am not a lawyer. Consult a lawyer.
