Costco phoned me and asked if I was in their store. I ask why and the costco rep did not give more info. I ended the conversation
I got an email 5 hrs later asking to contact them. I did not do that. 2 weeks later I got an sms from the police station asking me to contact them. What are my rights?

You don't have to do anything however the police can arrest you if they want to question you.

Thanks for responding
What is the best way to deal with this?

 

[Tony Danos]

My advice to clients is to cooperate with police because if they want to question you then they will arrest you so preempt this by making an appointment. This does not mean that you answer questions at the interview but resisting police pressure can be difficult for some people.

What do I do at the police
They will ask questions
What do you suggest

 

[Tony Danos]

Difficult to say without knowing all the surrounding facts.
Call me tomorrow.
