Here are excerpts:

"Can America's justice enterprise be integrated? From a privacy perspective, should it? Answer: Yes!

Technology has created a tension

Between:

- The needs of the justice system
- The new capabilities of interoperability
- the current rules governing collection and sharing of information

And:

- The privacy concerns of citizens and organizations

Privacy Initiative

Integrated Justice is creating a new climate of information collection, use and sharing.

The information privacy discussion must be broadened to address capabilities of today's (and tomorrow's) information technology.

Traditionally, justice information privacy policy has focused on criminal history record, intelligence information, and juvenile justice information.

There are existing laws and policies that govern these types of information and traditional methods of its use.
