Lane County 24 Hour Booking Photo Policy

Oregon House Bill 3273 changed how booking photos are handled across the state. Since January 1, 2022, Lane County no longer displays booking photos on its inmate viewer.

Names, charges, booking dates, and court info still appear on the AIC Viewer.

If you need a booking photo for a lawful purpose, contact the sheriff's office. They may release it under specific conditions allowed by state law. But for general public searches, photos are not part of the online display in Lane County or most other Oregon counties.
