Typically, no contact means no contact. That means you can't talk to, call, text, email, or send a telegraph (or any other form of communication) to the designated person. Sometimes, the judge will also include a stay away order, typically with a distance of 200 yards. That means you cannot go within 200 yards of the person's house, their children's school/daycare, or their workplace. If you run into them in public, then you have to leave. It doesn't matter that the place is open to the public; while they are there, you cannot be. The other person cannot give you permission to violate any of these terms. If you have any questions, you should get the specific terms/conditions from your probation officer and talk to the lawyer who put you on probation. Good luck.
