Privacy Question

[A#1Headache]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida Are communications with police about the public's business protected if the communication was in a private office. Or in a police officers office. Not an interrogation but communications about a complaint against an officer.

Sometimes.

There are privileges that attach to some communications. And it would not necessarily be the place of communication that matters for a privilege to attach.

It really depends on more facts than you have provided here, however.

Did you go in and gripe? Or, was this a formal personnel complaint?

And when you ask about the statement being protected, from whom are you seeking protection? At some point the officer would likely have the lawful right to see the accusations against him f this were a formal complaint. Even officers are not allowed to be disciplined without due process. If you are referring to whether or not the information can be released to the general public, that might also depend on the details of the complaint or gripe.

As Quincy asked, more details would be helpful.
