The legislature finds and declares that the responsible exchange of complete and accurate information among law enforcement agencies is recognized as necessary and indispensable to effective law enforcement. Individual rights, however, may be infringed if information is inaccurate, incomplete or is disseminated irresponsibly. The Arrest Record Information Act is for the purpose of protecting those rights.
