An incident at a Pennsylvania mall went viral last year, and now the state has introduced even harsher penalties.
Under the new law, the penalty for falsely claiming a veteran's designation on a driver's license will be up to one year in jail and result in up to $2,500 in fines.
About 190,000 people applied for the designation, but an audit showed that more than 350 applicants were not qualified for it.
Other alleged stolen valor cases have popped up at an airport in California, a Florida bar, and in a recent case of a man pretending to be a SEAL Team Six member.
