We had an incident in N.C. when a hunter found a body. They police detained him, told his wife he was having an affair,and told his employer he was a person of interest in a murder investigation. Never talk to the police.
Sadly, true. I will never call the police or speak to an officer without an attorney present. No matter what. There is no point in reporting a crime any more in most cities in the US. The police will just harass you and cause you grief and make no attempt whatsoever to apprehend the perpetrator. A stolen car might be an exception for liability reasons but I do not own a car.
