Just wanted to throw this out there to see what y'all think.

If somebody is found guilty of a crime and it's found to be racially motivated then there is an extra penalty - as it can be classed as a hate crime.

What if somebody fakes a crime to incriminate or discredit a particular racial group, such as a hate crime hoax. Could then the charge of "hate crime" be also added to another charge such as "filing a fake report"?
