Alabama’s Public Records Law of 1923 ensures its locals the ability to seek out, acquire, and utilize records kept by authorities, which includes arrest records, court case records, marriage and divorce certificates, and records of traffic infractions, and this legal right extends to the citizens of McKenzie. This statute, itself in line with the Freedom of Information Act at the country wide level, offers McKenzie residents with specifics associated with cases of governmental involvement, such as the names and addresses of those involved, the events leading up an occurrence, results and sentences handed down, and much more. McKenzie is committed to promoting a free and open culture, and embraces these laws, presenting its residents the resources they need to keep both government bodies and criminals similarly responsible for their activity.
