North Dakota’s Open Records Statute promises its citizens the ability to look for, get, and use records held by authorities, including arrest records, court records, marriage and divorce licenses, and records of traffic transgressions, and this right extends to the locals of Butte. These records contain names, dates, information on incidences, sentences, proceedings and more, and are also all assumed public unless otherwise stated. Both regulators and criminals may be held accountable for their choices as a consequence of these laws, which provide the citizenry with the resources they require to examine problems separate from their authorities.
