Time could be an issue as lots of places record over old video.īy no means go to the station or have further communication with the police about this without a lawyer, other than to politely say that you are concerned about the way they have reacted to your good deed, and that you will be happy to discuss the matter with your lawyer present.Internet Banking makes transferring your money quick and convenient. I'd find the lawyer quickly, and have him see if there's video of you picking up the checkbook in the lot. You should get a good local lawyer who does criminal defense, ideally one who has been a prosecutor in the same jurisdiction, then go talk to the cops together. Failing to cooperate further with the cops can't be used against you in court, but it could raise concerns in their mind that you have something to hide here.

I'm currently out-of-state on business, so I told him that I'd call him back when I got back - he was pretty insistent on seeing me in person. However, I've also been around the internet long enough to know that it may not be the greatest idea to go into and talk to him, despite not actually commiting any crimes.Īm I being overly cautious? My wife seems to think so. I have zero idea how they managed to get my contact info (since I didn't leave it), or what they expect to find out from me - I literally picked it up, walked 30 feet, and handed it off.
