Can i refuse a volutery interview

[waterboatman]

Yes. But it wouldn't be a good idea.

Your Answer... I suspect that the clue is in the name, voluntary.

And as I hit "Answer Now" I see that the system failed to replace the text already in the box. Ain't tech marvellous ?

[ummmm]

But if you don't turn up they could issue a warrant for your arrest. They don't just want to interview people for no reason.

Hi . I think the overwelming answer so far is no i dont have to attend . They havnt set an actual date for the so called volunentery interview as there slightly confused as the police have been called by myself regardised a situation against the people who have tried to get me arrested

Sorry my grammer is terrible first thing in the morning. I have basicly called the police on somebody regarding a situation the police came to there house and asked them questions regarding this. in retaliation they reported me on something that suposedly happend a week prior but didnt call the police at the time i commited this so called offence against them. Surely the police will realise that there just trying to get there own back and telling lies just because i had the police sent to them ?

Regardless of what you can or cannot do when invited for voluntary interview, if you called the police because you wanted them to take action against someone else, surely it makes sense to co operate with them?

[Manutd147]

That seems to make alot of sense to me i think what im trying to say is i think its a damn cheek i orginaly called the police regarding an incodent now because they didnt like the police going to there how asking questions they have now made up some rubbish about me and now ive been asked to attend a voluntary interview to which i thnk is totally wrong

[ummmm]

The police are well versed on knowing what is tit for tat. Go to the interview.

I had someone who used to phone the police on me on a regular basis. It's much easier to cooperate with them.

[woofgang]

they are investigating an allegation.....the same as you have alleged something about someone else and they are investigating that.

Just an update on this so called voluntary police interview . I phoned the police and said i was willing to have a interview but i wanted it at my house. They said thats not possible it has to be done at a police station. I refused so the policeman said they would come to my house and take me to the police station to which i replied ok . He then informed he was going on holiday and wouldnt be back on duty for a fornight. Dear me what next.

It is likely you will now be arrested and then subject to an interview. Await the arrival of the duty solicitor before you say a word.......
