I am 22 years old and I feel as if my privacy is being violated. Earlier this year in January, my mother told me that she hired a private investigator to follow me around, and I believe it started late last year (about Nov/Dec). My step-dad's nephew works for the police department and I don't remember his title, but he does criminal investigations, and my mother said that she asked for his help in this and I guess him and an investigator worked together. I asked her why and she said because she wants to "protect" me. I think this is completely ridiculous. Then yesterday she confronted me again, saying that they had transcripts of my cell phone conversations and logs of my text messages from my phone and that she read them. She said she was not allowed to take them home, but she did say some things that there would have been no way of her knowing unless she read the transcripts. But she did show me all the logs she's gotten (incoming/outgoing calls and text messages to and from what phone number). She also named additional places and things I did that she wouldn't have known unless someone was really watching me.
Is there a way to stop this? I didn't give anyone the right to divulge my information. I am not a criminal nor have I ever been. And I am not a minor so I don't think this is right. What can I do to stop letting the police or whomever is giving her this information? I know my mother would not stop if I asked her to, even though she may say she will, I have a feeling she will still secretly do it. Is there someone I can talk to at the police department or the Long Beach courthouse? Thank you in advance for your help!
