According to the Supreme Court, you are not required nor should you talk to the police and it is not obstruction if you don't. It is obstruction if you lie to them.
I'm all for helping put bad guys away but most times they are trying to get you to talk so they can charge YOU with a crime. 'oh, but back here you said he had on a yellow shirt but now you changed it to orange so you are lying and therefore must be guilty so we are charging you with murder' No one has 100% recall which is why there are court reporters, video surveillance and tape recordings.
Having been through a lot of subpoenas, discovery, and testifying in regulatory hearings the key advice of the sharp legal minds to me has been '...shut your mouth...' and '...here is what we want you to say and nothing more...' If they do ask you to supply more info or expound upon something then use the Hillary Clinton tactic (over a 160 times in the Whitewater hearings) of '...I don't recall...' then they can't get you for lying under oath nor can they force you to remember.
Still, I wonder about Mr. Campos.
