Unauthorized Presence in Records or Evidence Storage Areas

A subject deliberately enters or remains within an area used to store physical records, legal files, personnel documents, investigative material, evidential items, archived media, regulated records, or chain-of-custody material without authorization.

 

Unauthorized presence may expose confidential information or provide an opportunity to inspect, remove, substitute, contaminate, damage, or interfere with stored material. The infringement applies where the subject knowingly enters the controlled area, even where subsequent access to a specific record or evidential item cannot be established.
