Legal Question in Technology Law in New York

Someone has accused me of changing the password to their e-mail account. They filed a complaint with my local precinct and I have to speak with a detective. This person has accessed said account from my home several times but at the time that it was supposedly done I was not home and have witnesses to my whereabouts. This person also does not have access to my home. If in fact the account was accessed via my IP address (wi-fi, etc) what are my rights?

The accusation of hacking into one's email account is a serious one. Since this involves a potential criminal matter, before speaking to the police you should retain an attorney.
