I was definitely worried about this, but I figured that if anything, I've not lied to anybody, so I'd be happy with myself.

Even if you've done nothing wrong, talking to the police can really only hurt you. For example, this re-enactment is based on a true story in which an old lady in Baltimore was convicted of drug possession because some neighborhood children had left a dime bag under her sofa (which she didn't even know about) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7RYH8Py6lY[0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7RYH8Py6lY[0] Just because you think you've done nothing wrong doesn't mean others will agree, especially when it's their job to think you're guilty.
