Oklahoma state laws dictate that records showing municipal activities for example court documents, police arrest records, marriage certificates, traffic violations and more are open and accessible to the public, largely as a result of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. These records contain names, dates, information on events, sentences, procedures and much more, and are also all assumed public unless otherwise stated. Bramans law enforcement and criminals both are held accountable thanks to the transparency afforded with this legislation, making Braman, and by extension the united states, a more free and open society.
