or | ||||||
| 25 | when provided by law. For purposes of obtaining documents | ||||||
| 26 | pursuant to this Section, a civil subpoena is not an order of | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | the court. | ||||||
| 2 | (1) In cases where the law enforcement, or independent | ||||||
| 3 | agency, records concern a pending juvenile court case, the | ||||||
| 4 | party seeking to inspect the records shall provide actual | ||||||
| 5 | notice to the attorney or guardian ad litem of the minor | ||||||
| 6 | whose records are sought. | ||||||
| 7 | (2) In cases where the records concern a juvenile court | ||||||
| 8 | case that is no longer pending, the party seeking to | ||||||
| 9 | inspect the records shall provide actual notice to the | ||||||
| 10 | minor or the minor's parent or legal guardian, and the | ||||||
| 11 | matter shall be referred to the chief judge presiding over | ||||||
| 12 | matters pursuant to this Act. | ||||||
| 13 | (3) In determining whether the records should be | ||||||
| 14 | available for inspection, the court shall consider the | ||||||
| 15 | minor's interest in confidentiality and rehabilitation | ||||||
| 16 | over the moving party's interest in obtaining the | ||||||
| 17 | information. Any records obtained in violation of this | ||||||
| 18 | subsection (C) shall not be admissible in any criminal or | ||||||
| 19 | civil proceeding, or operate to disqualify a minor from | ||||||
| 20 | subsequently holding public office or securing employment, | ||||||
| 21 | or operate as a forfeiture of any public benefit, right, | ||||||
| 22 | privilege, or right to receive any license granted by | ||||||
| 23 | public authority.
| ||||||
| 24 | (D) Nothing contained in subsection (C) of this Section | ||||||
| 25 | shall prohibit
the inspection or disclosure to victims and | ||||||
| 26 | witnesses of photographs
contained in the records of law | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | enforcement agencies when the
inspection and disclosure is | ||||||
| 2 | conducted in the presence of a law enforcement
officer for the | ||||||
| 3 | purpose of the identification or apprehension of any person
| ||||||
| 4 | subject to the provisions of this Act or for the investigation | ||||||
| 5 | or
prosecution of any crime.
| ||||||
| 6 | (E) Law enforcement officers, and personnel of an | ||||||
| 7 | independent agency created by ordinance and charged by a unit | ||||||
| 8 | of local government with the duty of investigating the conduct | ||||||
| 9 | of law enforcement officers, may not disclose the identity of | ||||||
| 10 | any minor
in releasing information to the general public as to | ||||||
| 11 | the arrest, investigation
or disposition of any case involving | ||||||
| 12 | a minor.
| ||||||
| 13 | (F) Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit law | ||||||
| 14 | enforcement
agencies from communicating with each other by | ||||||
| 15 | letter, memorandum, teletype or
intelligence alert bulletin or | ||||||
| 16 | other means the identity or other relevant
information | ||||||
| 17 | pertaining to a person under 18 years of age if there are
| ||||||
| 18 | reasonable grounds to believe that the person poses a real and | ||||||
| 19 | present danger
to the safety of the public or law enforcement | ||||||
| 20 | officers. The information
provided under this subsection (F) | ||||||
| 21 | shall remain confidential and shall not
be publicly disclosed, | ||||||
| 22 | except as otherwise allowed by law.
| ||||||
| 23 | (G) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the right of a | ||||||
| 24 | Civil Service

examining the character and fitness of | ||||||
| 26 | an applicant for employment with a law
enforcement agency, | ||||||

| 3 | The information derived from the law enforcement | ||||||
| 4 | records shall be kept separate from and shall not | ||||||

| 7 | inspection under any circumstances.
Nothing in this Section | ||||||
| 8 | shall prohibit the victim or alleged victim of any sex
offense | ||||||
| 9 | from voluntarily disclosing his or her identity.
| ||||||
| 10 | (2.5) If the minor is a victim of aggravated battery, | ||||||
| 11 | battery, attempted first degree murder, or other non-sexual | ||||||
| 12 | violent offense, the identity of the victim may be disclosed to | ||||||

| 14 | foreseeable future violence involving minors, by a local law | ||||||
| 15 | enforcement agency pursuant to an agreement established | ||||||
| 16 | between the school district and a local law enforcement agency | ||||||
| 17 | subject to the approval by the presiding judge of the juvenile | ||||||

| ||||||
| 23 | (4) Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the inspection | ||||||
| 24 | or disclosure to
victims and witnesses of photographs contained | ||||||
| 25 | in the records of law
enforcement agencies when the inspection | ||||||
| 26 | or disclosure is conducted in the
presence of a law enforcement | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | officer for purposes of identification or
apprehension of any | ||||||
| 2 | person in the course of any criminal investigation or
| ||||||
| 3 | prosecution.
| ||||||
| 4 | (5) The records of law enforcement officers, or of an | ||||||
| 5 | independent agency created by ordinance and charged by a unit | ||||||
| 6 | of local government with the duty of investigating the conduct | ||||||
| 7 | of law enforcement officers, concerning all minors under
18 | ||||||
| 8 | years of age must be maintained separate from the records of | ||||||
| 9 | adults and
may not be open to public inspection or their | ||||||
| 10 | contents disclosed to the
public except by order of the court | ||||||
| 11 | or when the institution of criminal
proceedings has been | ||||||
| 12 | permitted under Section 5-130 or 5-805 or required
under | ||||||
| 13 | Section
5-130 or 5-805 or such a person has been convicted of a | ||||||
| 14 | crime and is the
subject of
pre-sentence investigation or when | ||||||
| 15 | provided by law.
| ||||||
| 16 | (6) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (6), | ||||||
| 17 | law enforcement
officers, and personnel of an independent | ||||||

| 21 | minor
in releasing information to the general public as to the | ||||||
| 22 | arrest, investigation
or disposition of any case involving a | ||||||

Any victim or parent or legal guardian of a victim may | ||||||
| 24 | petition the court to
disclose the name and address of the | ||||||
| 25 | minor and the minor's parents or legal
guardian, or both. Upon | ||||||
| 26 | a finding by clear and convincing evidence that the
disclosure | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | is either necessary for the victim to pursue a civil remedy | ||||||
| 2 | against
the minor or the minor's parents or legal guardian, or | ||||||
| 3 | both, or to protect the
victim's person or property from the | ||||||
| 4 | minor, then the court may order the
disclosure of the | ||||||
| 5 | information to the victim or to the parent or legal guardian
of | ||||||
| 6 | the victim only for the purpose of the victim pursuing a civil | ||||||
| 7 | remedy
against the minor or the minor's parents or legal | ||||||
| 8 | guardian, or both, or to
protect the victim's person or | ||||||
| 9 | property from the minor.
| ||||||
| 10 | (7) Nothing contained in this Section shall prohibit law | ||||||
| 11 | enforcement
agencies when acting in their official capacity | ||||||
| 12 | from communicating with each
other by letter, memorandum, | ||||||
| 13 | teletype or
intelligence alert bulletin or other means the | ||||||
| 14 | identity or other relevant
information pertaining to a person | ||||||
| 15 | under 18 years of age. The information
provided under this | ||||||
| 16 | subsection (7) shall remain confidential and shall not
be | ||||||
| 17 | publicly disclosed, except as otherwise allowed by law.
| ||||||
| 18 | (8) No person shall disclose information under this Section | ||||||
| 19 | except when
acting in his or her official capacity and as | ||||||
| 20 | provided by law or order of
court.

| 22 | apply to law enforcement records of a minor who has been | ||||||
