Help

So last night I was drinking some alcoholic beverages outside and I witnessed a car crash into my brick fence and then reverse through my neighbours fence. To make a long story short the police showed up and talked to me and got all my details, the policeman then said he might call upon me for further questioning down at the station.

What I want to know is, if and when he calls me do I have to go and get queried by them?

If you're a witness, then they may require your testimony.

So I'd say, yes.

Well if you are the only witness why not comply?
You would be doing it for a good cause. Unless you are the person who was driving the car!?

You have a damaged brick fence. If that was my brick fence i'd be pist. So, by complying with the police you will get a a quicker resolve to your brick fence situation.

For some reason the first thing I thought was that you were the culprit of said fence issues. Mainly because that would be a funny situation in general.

I would say without a warrant I cant, but with proper documentation you'd be happy to comply with them.

I doubt they'll call you, since you've already filed a witness report the night of the accident.

In the event they do call, you could tell them you are willing to speak further to an Officer if they came to your house, to save your time in going in.

If you're afraid that you did something wrong by drinking outside, the cops would have arrested you at the time. I wouldn't worry about anything. You're a witness, that's all it's about. Unless you have outstanding warrants..
