Presenting or using an insurance card is described under which offense?

• A. Tampering with Government Record
• B. False Statement to Peace Officer
• C. Perjury
• D. Resisting Arrest

Answer: (A)

Tampering with government records. When you present or use an insurance card in a way that misrepresents your identity or status, you’re handling a document that the government relies on in official processes. That action interferes with the integrity of a record used by law enforcement and other authorities, which is the essence of tampering with a government record. It isn’t about making a false statement to an officer in the moment (that would be false statement to a peace officer) or lying under oath (perjury), and it isn’t about resisting an arrest. The key idea is manipulating an official document or record in a way that alters or misuses its authority.
