If I got a no contact order on someone, can I contact them? Or am I also barred?

What's the matter with you?? You went to court, told your story, true or false, and got a restraining/no-contact order. Now what?

No court. Just the police station. Got a no contact order. Wondering if I'm able to contact them though.

I have not found law in your state that tells me the police can issue no-contact orders.

That said, I did some reading and found this informative blog post. I/we have no connection to the blog author/s, and this is not a referral. https://rhodeslegalgroup.com/criminal-law/alleged-victims-remove-rescind-criminal-contact-order/

I think you may have misunderstood what you got from the police. In any case, even if you are allowed to contact him, he's not allowed to contact you, so what's the point?

ETA: Yeah, what Silverplum said!
