Oklahoma state regulations stipulate that records recording municipal activities like court documents, arrest records, marriage licenses, vehicular transgressions and more are open and accessible to the general public, largely as a result of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. All pertinent specifics on the multitude of happenings of law enforcement, municipal courts, and local government are contained in these records, and are deemed public unless officially redacted. Residents of Krebs are able to better realize their rights because of these laws, and the transparency available from the release of these records keeps both criminals and regulators liable for their actions, subsequently resulting in a more open and free society for all.
