I spoke with the friend of mine.
He told me that the reason the order was there was because the officer wanted to get his wife to testify against him for "something."
See, it's like this.
The guy used to run a tattoo parlor. He's got lots of long hair, lots of tattoos, and obviously is on the wrong side of the law occasionally. (Not my place to judge, just a few years ago posession of pot was a felony)
So, as one would figure, the law wants to put him away for a while. Fine. He knows the risks, he was apparently willing to take the risks. THAT said, when playing the game, the law side is supposed to follow the rules. And there is no reason that there should be a no contact order on this couple. Messing with a marriage and separating a family only to put pressure on a suspect doesn't seem like fair play. Especially since the wife is covered by spousal privilege and would be completely unwilling to testify anyway. (No she's not secretly working with the cops.)
So again. Is this legal?
