You may not be under sworn oath, but when a police officer asks you a question in connection with an official action (even a burned-out taillight stop), any answer you give is in response to an official inquiry, and if you lie you are committing a criminal offense. Not voluntarily disclosing is one thing. Answering "No" to a question when the truth is "Yes" could result in consequences.
