Alabama state laws determine that records recording public actions including court documents, arrest records, marriage licenses, traffic transgressions and more are open and available to the general public, largely as a result of the Alabama Public Records Law of 1923. This statute, itself in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act at the federal level, provides New Site people with information associated with cases of governmental intervention, such as the addresses and names of those involved, the activities leading up an incidence, outcomes and sentences passed down, and more. These laws offer the people of America, and New Site, the ability to study and comprehend their rights, the precedents that brought about those rights, and when those rights are infringed upon, which in turn leads to a more free and transparent society for everyone.
