Oklahoma state laws stipulate that records showing public activities for example court documents, police arrest records, marriage licenses, traffic transgressions and more are open and available to the general public, largely because of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. All applicable information on the many happenings of law enforcement, city courts, and local government are contained in these records, and are assumed public unless formally redacted. Coopertons authorities and criminals are both held accountable thanks to the transparency afforded with this law, making Cooperton, and by extension the united states, a more free and open culture.
