What is indicated about driver license photos in the NLETS system?

Driver license photos stored in the NLETS (National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System) are specifically maintained for criminal justice purposes. This means that the primary goal of having these photos accessible through the system is to assist law enforcement and other criminal justice entities in the identification of individuals involved in criminal activities or investigations.

Options indicating that these photos are either only stored in a central database or are available for public distribution do not align with the functionalities of NLETS. The system is designed to be a resource for law enforcement and not to provide public access to sensitive personal data such as driver license photos, ensuring that such information is used responsibly and protects individuals' privacy.

Moreover, the assertion that all government agencies use these photos does not reflect the specialized nature of NLETS. While certain government agencies involved in law enforcement can utilize the system, not every government body has access to or needs driver license photos maintained in this context. The focus on criminal justice underlines the importance of control and safeguarding of this data.
