Why is it suspicious? Lots of officers work a @7-3 shift, and handle the bureaucratic issues at the end. A guy in a desk job may have more regular office hours, but if you have a day job you would call during business hours.

What's your goal here? Do you want us to tell you that your brother-in-law can ignore the officer's instruction without any possible consequence to his girlfriend?

I understand that many professions, in addition to law-enforcement, work those kind of hours. However, I would guess that for the most part, normal hour jobs are the norm. Unless it was an emergency, I would be ticked if someone called my house and woke me up at 3am. What if he had an infant in the home? or many other instances where a call at 3 am would be highly inappropriate. We can all have our opinions and that's what makes the world go round. But like I said in my 11:04 am post, we are just trying to find out if there are actual laws that would prevent him from contacting her until after the court case. We understand contact would be harmful to her if there were a no-contact or restraining order issued...but would he not be notified in an official manner if this were the case. We need to keep in mind that there is an unborn child in the mix here and he doesn't want to be restricted from keeping up with the pregnancy unless he has to.
