Obstruction of Justice...

I keep hearing on CNN et al about people who commit crimes, and a possibly unrelated third party that claims responsiblity. They probably know that they won't likely be charged with anything, but they yell out that they did it anyway. It probably causes the police no end in greif.

I'd like to teach 'em a lesson. Arrest the whole *!)@#( group for obstruction of justice and lock 'em up for five years apon conviction. This will remove the whole mess, letting police do their actual job.

I like that idea. I was wondering how to properly word a crime of stupidity (claiming something you didn't do) when obstruction of justice covers it nicely.
