A number of years ago I did consulting work for a mid sized company. 2-5 years later, my employers's front office admin called me and said "2 Gentleman from 'Dog' are here to see you." I called these gentlemen from Dog, and found that they were from the DOJ, not Dog or D.O.G. And they were really from FBI but apparently DOJ sounds better. They started by asking me about the company, and they mis-stated the name, apparently intentionally.
After listening to their questions, I said "Gentlemen, I will have my attorney call you, he will arrange everything."
These magic words, they stopped asking questions. He setup a conference call some weeks later, and they interrogated me left and right and up and down. They kept mis-stating things that I had to correct, they kept inferring malice where none was.
I had nothing to hide, but they were both ignorant and manipulative.
After they harassed the company I'd done work for 3-6 months, costing the exec they were after something like $100k+ in legal fees, they sent a letter to the exec saying they were ending their investigation.
Don't talk to the police. Ask them to put their questions in writing, hire an attorney, or just ignore them.
I was polite, and they didn't attempt to force me to answer.
Had I actually been at work that day (I was working from home) I would have come up and seen two cop-looking guys with guns and badges, I still feel I would have done the same thing, but it would have been harder.
