You do not have to go and talk to them. Exercise this right.

Without talking to them, which I do not recommend without an attorney present, you will not know what's going on. Your best course of action is to find the money to hire an attorney to go with you, if you decide to speak to the police.

Do not talk to the police. Do not ask them what it's about. If they are going to arrest you, they will. Talking to them will NOT help. I understand your curiosity about what they want with you, but there is no way to find that out without talking to them. Not worth it.

You'll need to get an attorney at whether you can afford one easily or not. The police are not sending you letters and seeking interviews with you because they are your friend, rather they are most likely seeking to gather the evidence necessary to bring some form of charges against you. All my office with the details and for an appointment, or call another attorney. It's only your life.

You seem to know what not to do and you are correct in not talking to them. As far as finding out what they want, if you don't already know then you wont know unless you are arrested for something.

If it were me, I would find the money to hire a lawyer. I never suggest someone talk with the police without the assistance of a lawyer.

Remember you have the right to remain silent. Only idiots talk to the police.

I would not go. I might call and ask what its about. But just listen, do not say anything about it.
