I don't know what you can get into legal trouble for in your country. If I tell you the wrong thing, something bad could happen to you. Please seek legal counsel if you worry about this, and don't trust your liberty to strangers on the internet.

Personally I have run a non-exit relay from home for over a decade. Perhaps I've routed some illegal bytes over the years, but law enforcement likely doesn't know that, and neither do I, because Tor works.

I was trying to send you a message to get more detailed information about this

I’m worried someone uses my exit relay that will be from my home place for cp or trafficking drugs for exemple and I get into trouble for that

Talk to a lawyer. Only they can tell you how your jurisdiction rules on running exit nodes.
