Alabama state guidelines stipulate that records recording public activities including court papers, police arrest records, marriage licenses, traffic transgressions and more are open and available for the general public, largely because of the Alabama Public Records Law of 1923. These laws, or rather series of laws, offer Millerville inhabitants the opportunity to search for, report, and apply these records, including particulars about those concerned, when the event took place, the effects associated with a municipal action, and information on what transpired. These laws and regulations give the people of America, and Millerville, the power to research and understand their legal rights, the precedents that led to those rights, and when those rights are infringed on, which in turn leads to a more free and open society for everyone.
