You risk being arrested if you do not go to a voluntary interview
If you have been called in for a police interview, you should go. Otherwise you could find yourself being arrested, taken to a police station and placed in a cell until the police are ready to interview you (which can be several hours later).
Why don’t the police arrest me?
The police have decided the criteria for deeming your arrest to be necessary has not been met.
If the police suspect a person has committed an offence, they can arrest that person, but only if it is necessary to do so for one of the following reasons:
(a) to enable the name (or address) of the person to be ascertained
(b)to prevent the person —
(i) causing physical injury to himself or any other person;
(ii) suffering physical injury;
(iii) causing loss of or damage to property;
(iv) committing an offence against public decency (only where members of the public going about their normal business cannot reasonably be expected to avoid the person); or
(v) causing an unlawful obstruction of the highway;
(d) to protect a child or other vulnerable person from the person;
(e) to allow the prompt and effective investigation of the offence or of the conduct of the person;
(f) to prevent any prosecution for the offence from being hindered by the disappearance of the person.
If you do not go to a voluntary interview, the police may consider it necessary to arrest you under (e) above (to allow the prompt and effective investigation).
To find out more about police powers of arrest, read Code G of the Codes of Practice. Code G is the Code of Practice for the Statutory Power of Arrest by Police Officers (read paragraph 2.9 (e) in particular). A link can be found here.
You may also like to read section 24 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 which relates to the power of the police to arrest without a warrant. You can read the relevant section by clicking here.

‘After being invited to the local Police station for a +3 interview for an alleged road rage incident reported by a cyclist, I searched the internet for information and legal advice.

On the day of the interview, he asked the officer the right questions and explained my position to me, the laws that applied and how my actions would be interpreted. His presence was reassuring and his knowledge accurate and objective. I gave my interview and the full sequence of events and was not charged.
