Re: Questioning
You have no obligation to "go in for questioning" unless under Court order or Subpoena. You may claim your 5th Amendment right to remain silent. You may not have been involved, but that does not guarantee you won't be charged. Politely decline this interview unless under Subpoena or other official Court Order requiring you to appear. Under any circumstances, don't talk to law enforcement until you have consulted with a reputable criminal lawyer.
