I'm in the clear now.

Hello.
I'm reading MafiaBoy by Michael Calce and I want to know what does "I'm in the clear now" mean here?
" "Holy shit, dude!" yelled the voice on the other end of the line. "Are you allowed to call me?" "Yeah, bro, it's all good," I said. "I'm in the clear now" ".


Thank you.

clear - WordReference.com Dictionary of English

47 in the clear, free from danger, blame, or guilt:I was finally in the clear after I proved I was right.

The previous sentence to that one in the book is "The day my probation ended, I called my friend Brian".

So "I'm in the clear" means that Michael was now free (from the restrictions that the detention and the probation period had imposed).
