In identical circumstances, obviously it IS lawful to refuse an interview.

What would those circumstances be ?

I never said it was unlawful to refuse an interview, though one could always speculate as to why there was non-copoeration with the police.

I asked why the police did not compel an interview - to refuse would then be unlawful.

Imagine if you get attacked in the street tomorrow, and the police cannot capture the attacker as the bus stop full of eye -witnesses refuse to give an interview.

I wonder what your opinion would be of those people for not co-operating ?
