Massachusetts state regulations dictate that records recording municipal actions like court documents, arrest records, marriage licenses, vehicular infractions and more are open and available for the public, largely because of the Indiana's Public Records Act. These records keep information about trial, criminal arrest, divorce, vehicular, and vital records, such as the names of those involved, information on criminal acts committed, the final sentences, and more. This legislation, that was generally using the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, are in place to guarantee U.S. Citizens and residents of Freetown have the ability to recognize their privileges, and hold government bodies and criminals liable with regard to their actions, supporting a free and open culture for all.
