Is it legal for police to disclose information given in an interview?
Question Details:
I have been interviewed (as a victim ) by the local police. Their investigation has extended into my workplace (a city dept) and several of my coworkers have now been interviewed. Is it legal for the investigators to share any information gathered in these interviews? If so, with who? For instance, could they share details about my personal life with administrators in the department?
Criminal Defense Law Answers
Unless there is some restriction with respect to the information provided in the interview process of a police investigation about the information being personal, law enforcement is free to share details about the victim with people who are being interviewed.
From what you have written it does not seem illegal for the investigators to share information gathered in their interviews with third parties. In your situation, law enforcement unless precluded from sharing issues about the victim's personal life by the victim, is free to share details of the victim's personal life with his or her employer.
