1  maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and
2  specifically designed to provide information to one or
3  more law enforcement agencies regarding the physical or
4  mental status of one or more individual subjects.
5  (c) Personal information contained within public
6  records, the disclosure of which would constitute a
7  clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless
8  the disclosure is consented to in writing by the
9  individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted
10  invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of
11  information that is highly personal or objectionable to a
12  reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
13  privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in
14  obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
15  that bears on the public duties of public employees and
16  officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
17  privacy.
18  (d) Records in the possession of any public body
19  created in the course of administrative enforcement
20  proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional
21  agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the
22  extent that disclosure would:
23  (i) interfere with pending or actually and
24  reasonably contemplated law enforcement proceedings
25  conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
26  agency that is the recipient of the request;

10  who file complaints with or provide information to

13  witnesses to traffic accidents, traffic accident
14  reports, and rescue reports shall be provided by
15  agencies of local government, except when disclosure
16  would interfere with an active criminal investigation
17  conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the
18  request;
19  (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative
20  techniques other than those generally used and known
21  or disclose internal documents of correctional
22  agencies related to detection, observation, or
23  investigation of incidents of crime or misconduct, and

12  (c) Personal information contained within public
13  records, the disclosure of which would constitute a
14  clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless

17  invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of
18  information that is highly personal or objectionable to a
19  reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
20  privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in
21  obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
22  that bears on the public duties of public employees and
23  officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
24  privacy.
