German police are not the friendliest in the world. Do not be scared by their frowns, lol.
Don't frighten anyone here lol.

Speak slowly and clearly? I'd say that depends on your accent. Many Germans are simply not used to the Indian English accent and may ask you to repeat, that's all.

German police not the friendliest? Now don't generalise from one incident that you have experienced please. Many (though there are exceptions of course, as anywhere else in the world) actually are very friendly, especially with foreigners who stay friendly and show that they have not misbehaved on purpose etc. (all that provided in case anything happens at all, lets not expect the worst case).
