That's a risk not worth taking, by what measure can one gain by speaking with any LEO?

The folks who have do not carry a fear of prosecution because they can afford to remove themselves from any danger. However; those who do not, suffer under the obfuscated rules of law.

I did not make any claims that one should speak with LEOs. I was merely pointing out that the parent's claim was at best a misunderstanding of the law.

Beyond identifying yourself to LEOs, Don't Talk To The Police [0] without your lawyer present.
