Oklahoma state regulations stipulate that records showing municipal actions for example court documents, police arrest records, marriage licenses, traffic infractions and more are open and offered to the public, largely due to the Oklahoma Open Records Act. All relevant details about the many happenings of police officers, city courts, and local government are contained in these records, and generally are believed public unless legally redacted. Inhabitants of Notchietown have the ability to better realize their rights because of these laws, and the transparency provided by the release of these records helps to keep both criminals and legislators liable for their actions, in turn resulting in a more open and free society for everybody.
