Busted Mugshots and Louisiana Public Records

Arrest records in Louisiana are public. Under La. R.S. 44:1, records made or kept by public bodies are open for inspection. The LaSalle Parish jail roster falls under this law. Anyone can search it. You do not need to give a reason. The sheriff posts the roster so the public can see who is in custody.

For full criminal history checks, the rules are tighter. Under La. R.S. 15:587, complete rap sheets may be restricted. Those come from the Louisiana State Police and need a formal request. But the basic LaSalle Parish busted mugshots on the LAVNS roster are free and open. No form to fill out. No fee to pay.

Louisiana also passed La. R.S. 44:4.1 to limit commercial mugshot sites that charge removal fees. Official jail rosters are not affected by that law. And if someone qualifies for expungement under La. R.S. 44:9, their arrest record and mugshot can be removed from public systems after a court order is granted. The process takes time, but it is an option for people whose cases end in dismissal or acquittal.
