Oklahoma state guidelines stipulate that records revealing public decisions including court documents, police arrest records, marriage licenses, vehicular violations and more are open and available for the public, largely as a result of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. All crucial information about the multitude of happenings of law enforcement, local courts, and local government are incorporated into these records, and generally are presumed public unless legally redacted. Gages authorities and criminals both are held accountable because of the transparency afforded by this regulation, making Gage, and by proxy the country, a more free and open society.
