Legal Question
in Oregon (ORS40.260) in regards to the clergy-penitent privilege; the law states that a clergy member may not be examined without the permission of the penitent. Does that only apply at a trial, or does that also mean a police officer may not examine (i.e. ask questions to a clergy involved in a clergy-penitent relationship) without the permission of the penitent not? If a police officer asks a clergy member questions without the penitent's approval, does that make the police officer and who they are representing liable to civil suits?
