Thanks to the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, information such as court documents, police arrest records, marriage certificates, and more are all readily available for the population to locate, investigate, and obtain, and Montanans are no different thanks to the Montana Open Meetings Law. This law, itself in line with the Freedom of Information Act at the country wide level, gives Walkerville citizens with details associated with instances of governmental intervention, including the names and addresses of those involved, the activities leading up an incidence, results and sentences passed down, and more. Both authorities and criminals may be held responsible for their behaviour because of these laws, which give the populace with the resources they require to investigate issues separate from their governing administration.
