Alabama state regulations determine that records revealing public actions like court papers, police arrest records, marriage licenses, traffic transgressions and more are open and accessible to the public, largely because of the Alabama Public Records Law of 1923. All applicable specifics on the many happenings of law enforcement, municipal courts, and local government are incorporated into these records, and are deemed public unless officially redacted. People of Tallassee have the ability to better understand their rights because of these laws, and the transparency available from the release of these records maintains both criminals and legislators culpable for their actions, subsequently leading to a more open and free society for all.
