Alabama’s Public Records Law of 1923 promises its people the legal right to look for, acquire, and utilize records kept by government bodies, which includes arrest records, court case records, marriage and divorce licenses, and records of traffic transgressions, and this legal right extends to the citizens of Loxley. This legislation, itself in line with the Freedom of Information Act at the country wide level, supplies Loxley citizens with particulars concerning cases of governmental intervention, including the addresses and names of those involved, the activities leading up an occurrence, effects and sentences passed down, and more. Residents of Loxley have the ability to better understand their rights due to these laws, and the transparency available from the release of these records keeps both criminals and authorities responsible for their actions, in turn resulting in a more open and free society for all.
