Busted Mugshots and Louisiana Public Records Law

Louisiana's public records laws apply to Cameron Parish the same as every other parish. Arrest records are open to the public under state law. The jail roster is one way the sheriff meets that obligation. No one has to explain why they want to see a mugshot. The information is there for public safety and transparency purposes. Under La. R.S. 15:587, criminal history data can be shared with the public for authorized purposes.

The state has laws to protect people from mugshot exploitation. La. R.S. 44:4.1 limits what commercial sites can do with booking photos. They cannot charge fees to remove them. But the law does not restrict official government rosters like the Cameron Parish jail listing. The Louisiana Department of Corrections is another official source for checking on inmates who have moved from parish jails to state prisons.

People whose charges were dropped or who were acquitted can seek expungement. Louisiana law under La. R.S. 44:9 allows qualifying individuals to petition the court. Once granted, the arrest record and mugshot are removed from public view. This includes the Cameron Parish roster. The process requires a court filing and takes time. Speak with a lawyer to find out if you qualify.
