What is the name of your state? Tennessee
I was revently pulled over in Brentwood Tennessee for a minor traffic violation (seat belt and speed 10 over). Upon being pulled over my car was searched and I turned over to the officer 12 grams of marijauna, two pipes, and a grinder. However I was only charged with seatbelt infraction and possession (specifically simple possession Sch. 6 39.111.718). The officer told me the court date and gave me my papers and let me on my way. Upon filling out paperwork he told me that I would not be contacted in any way except through the papers that were given to me. These papers stated my court date and charge. I am a legal adult of 19 years old and a college student I was going to pay all of my charges and serve time without hassling my family about the situation. I felt it was for the better, however about two hours after the incident I recieved a call from my mother in Maryland and she told me that the officer had contacted her and told her the entire situation of what had occured and what I was being charged with. I would like some help and especially I was curious that if by making this phone call to my mother the officer was breaking procedure and confidentiality? Any help would be much appreciated I would just like to know whether my rights of confidentiality were infracted upon by this officer making the phone call to my mother even though I am no longer a minor and a legal adult.
