Oklahoma state laws dictate that records documenting municipal actions including court documents, police arrest records, marriage licenses, traffic infractions and more are open and available for the populace, largely because of the Oklahoma Open Records Act. All essential info on the numerous happenings of law enforcement officials, city and county courts, and local government are incorporated into these records, and are presumed public unless officially redacted. Sand Hills authorities and criminals both are held accountable thanks to the openness afforded with this law, making Sand Hill, and by extension the nation, an even more free and open culture.
