Unfortunately, that's not the way police encounters work in practice. 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.
[0] This is part of an hour-long video which shows several more cases like this, but for some reason I can't find the full version anymore.
