They're talking about your mental health and the intelligence they have -- they want to talk inside your home so your neighbours don't get to listen in.

So send a social worker / mental healthcare professional.

The police can wait outside in case they’re needed.

Police are decidedly not mental healthcare professionals.

My neighbors live 200 yards away, they won't hear anything.

And you do realize your case is special, right? In urban settings, it's more like a dozen.

A dozen what? Yards? In 12 yards you're 3 neighbours over from my house.

Do you think the cops would still want to enter my home? I believe so. I think his hypothesis that this is motivated by their concern for my medical privacy is BS.
