A prosecutor who believes that a parent signed an application containing an inflated number of driving hours would indict the parent, I guess, for forgery of a public document - a class four felony punishable by 2 to 10 years in prison. Is that correct? Thinking out loud here, I predict this would primarily be charged in a case after the kid has an accident and kills someone.
