New Hampshire’s Right to Know Law ensures its citizens the right to look for, get, and utilize records kept by government bodies, which includes arrest records, court public records, marriage and divorce certificates, and records of traffic violations, and this legal right includes the citizens of Lincoln. This statute, itself in line with the Freedom of Information Act at the national level, offers Lincoln citizens with information associated with cases of governmental intervention, such as the addresses and names of those involved, the situations leading up an incidence, outcomes and sentences passed down, and much more. People of Lincoln have the ability to better understand their rights due to these laws, and the transparency provided by the release of these records helps to keep both criminals and authorities culpable for their actions, consequently resulting in a more open and free society for all.
