Maybe, maybe not. I mean if there is a remote chance you will be charged with “something”, possibly minor, whether or not you cooperate, and a practical certainty that you will lose your public employment and associated benefits if you don't cooperate (and, likely, your employability anywhere related to your chosen field), you probably want to do a more detailed consideration of the likelihood you will be charged, the likely consequences if you are, and the marginal risk of talking.
