Should he have had to comply with coming to the station to be questioned to begin with?
I don’t think his being asked to come in for questioning had anything to do with gathering information. They already knew everything they needed to about him. If he was a true threat, they would have knocked down his door one night. No, I think that little “come down to the station” tactic was just to let him know his place.

If the police show up at your door for no reason, answer their questions nicely. Do not invite them in. If they ask to come in, politely decline and tell them you can answer what they want right there.
At the first hint that they suspect YOU of anything, stop answering questions. Tell them you are uncomfortable answering any more of their questions and will only do so with a lawyer present.

No, he did not need to comply with the interview but that would have been ‘probably cause’ to get a search/arrest warrant with these FBI and ‘police’ thugs who would go to a judge with totalitarian leanings and he would happily sign the warrant. He might even drool or have other bodily secretions while signing it.

NO! “Are you charging me with a crime or not?”
“Not without legal representation, I won’t come.”
