Alabama state regulations stipulate that records documenting public decisions for example court papers, police arrest records, marriage licenses, vehicular infractions and more are open and available to the populace, largely because of the Alabama Public Records Law of 1923. This statute, itself in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act at the country wide level, offers Petrey locals with information relating to cases of governmental intervention, including the addresses and names of those involved, the events leading up an event, results and sentences handed down, and more. These laws and regulations provide the people of America, and Petrey, the ability to examine and realize their legal rights, the precedents that brought about those rights, and when those rights are infringed on, which in turn creates a more free and transparent society for all.
