Nebraska’s Public Records Law promises its people the ability to seek out, get, and utilize records kept by authorities, which includes arrest records, court records, marriage and divorce certificates, and records of traffic transgressions, and this right also includes the residents of Bennington. All relevant specifics on the many happenings of law enforcement, city and county courts, and local government are within these records, and generally are presumed public unless legally redacted. Benningtons authorities and criminals both are held accountable thanks to the openness afforded with this regulation, making Bennington, and by extension the nation, an even more free and open culture.
