Destruction
Sec. 4. (a) Upon written request of the child or the child's parent,
guardian, or custodian, a law enforcement agency shall destroy or
deliver to the child any of the child's fingerprints or photographs
taken under section 1 of this chapter that are within that agency's
possession if:
(1) the child was taken into custody and no petition was filed
against the child;
(2) the petition was dismissed because of mistaken identity;
(3) the petition was dismissed because no delinquent act was
actually committed; or
(4) the petition was dismissed for lack of probable cause.
(b) If the child has a record of prior arrests or if another charge is
pending against the child, the law enforcement agency does not have
to destroy the child's fingerprints or photographs.
As added by P.L.1-1997, SEC.22.
