Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. In keeping with
				  congressional findings that the privacy of an individual is directly affected
				  by the collection, maintenance, use and dissemination of personal
				  information;
B. recognizing that to
				  the extent that the maintenance of personal information is necessary for the
				  efficient functioning of the government, it is the moral and legal obligation
				  of the government to assure that the personal information maintained is, to the
				  maximum extent feasible, complete and accurate;
C. being convinced that it is of utmost
				  importance that the integrity of personal information records be zealously
				  protected;
D. recognizing that the
				  increasing use of computers and sophisticated information technology, while
				  essential to the operations of government, has greatly magnified the harm to
				  individual privacy that can occur from any collection, maintenance, use, or
				  dissemination of personal information;
E. realizing that opportunities for an
				  individual to secure employment, insurance, credit, and his right to due
				  process, and other legal protections are endangered by the misuse of certain
				  information systems;
F.
				  acknowledging that the right to privacy is a personal and fundamental right
				  protected by the constitution of the United States;
G. responding to the authority granted in
				  42
				  United States Code 3701, et seq.;
				  28
				  United States Code 534; 28 Code of Federal
				  Regulations, Chapter 1, Section 20;
				  R.S.
				  15:575 et seq.; 49:951 et seq.; and Executive
				  Designation dated November 14,1975; and
H. acting with the intent of protecting and
				  furthering the interests of the citizens of the state of Louisiana, the Privacy
				  and Security Committee of the Criminal Justice Information System Division of
				  the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal
				  Justice (LCLE) does hereby issue these privacy and security regulations for the
				  following purposes, and with the following scope and limitations:
I. it is the purpose of these regulations to
				  provide safeguards for an individual against an invasion of his personal
				  privacy, and to promote, to the maximum extent feasible, the adoption of
				  procedures to ensure the completeness, accuracy, and integrity of criminal
				  history record information collected, maintained, and disseminated by criminal
				  justice agencies. This will be accomplished by requiring those agencies
				  affected to permit an individual to determine what criminal history record
				  information pertaining to him is collected, maintained, used, or disseminated
				  by such agencies; permit an individual to gain access to criminal history
				  record information pertaining to him in the records of affected agencies, to
				  have a copy made of all or any portion thereof, and to correct or amend such
				  records; and collect, maintain, use, or disseminate any record of criminal
				  history information in a manner that assures that such action is for a lawful
				  purpose, that the information is current and accurate for its intended use, and
				  that adequate safeguards are provided to prevent the misuse or unauthorized
				  alteration or destruction of such information.
