content: Honestly even in the US the advice is for criminals and paranoid teenagers. If the police want to talk to me I'm happy to assist them in their enquiries so they can get back to chasing actual crooks. The scenario whereby the police decide to frame me for a crime I didn't commit, just for shits and goggles, is one I keep filed away with "bear attack" and "struck by lightning" in the file of "very unlikely bad scenarios that I don't need to worry about too much".
