Somebody in your local police station has obviously been reading Arrse and after finding out what her dad is like, have carried out a risk assesement and decided that it is far safer to do the interview over the phone.A female Rozzer just called my daughter to cancel the interview , said it was due to Covid, also said it may be done over the phone and they will confirm soon.
Witness statement.
Get them to come to your house and insist that you are present. Don't inconvenience yourself or your daughter to give witness evidence. Sounds like a bone idle investigator.
Yes, if you are I suspect. How many solicitors attend for witnesses interviews - answer - none as they don't get legal aid for it.
Thats b*llocks, there are so many legal safe guards these days with PACE and such like. If you want to pay a brief £200+ an hour, go ahead, because you won't get it for free.
What would @don't tell him pike say?
Not for witness statements they don't. You are talking b*llocks.Not true. Some act as a "friend" for free. Usually newly qualified, or aiming to convert to a different type of law.
If they have evidence to arrest you, they will come and get you if they want you. If you are going to be arrested when you are asked to go to the station they will tell you, otherwise it will be a caution +3 interview in which you are entitled to free legal advice from a solictor. The OP's daughter has already been told its for a witnesss statement which can be done remotely. A serving plod has has already described the procedure.Not necessarily. It's an easy way to get someone who allegations have been made to a place they can be arrested and questioned under caution. Tell them to come to you, and watch their body language. Use covert video or a hidden voice recorder to keep a record.

Do you think the sniper fired from the grassy knoll? and was it Brenda or Phil the Greek who ordered MI6 to off the 'Peoples Princess?
The Feds...If she has to attend then she needs a solicitor present. The Feds are very good at writing up "abbreviated" statements so what they say you have said doesn't actually reflect what you actually said,. Just be very, very careful what you say to them. Always and i mean always have a solicitor present (the solicitor advice was provided to me by a Copper and very useful advice it is)
otherwise known as twirling, the last person I would trust would be plod during any sort of interviewUtter bull. The Police will use, or twist, anything you say to get their desired outcome.
What utter rot. While sometimes people are arrested after attending the station it would not be used as a subterfuge. If the police wanted to arrest your daughter they would just come round and do it. As for covert filming, in your own home you can do as you wish. You could politely tell the officer you’d like to record and suggest they might activate their own body cam.Not necessarily.

So you don't remember the cases some years back when the police sent out "you've won a prize, pick it up here" letters, and arrested those that arrived?
Re the statement, followed by arrest, that one's personal experience.
