Oregon state laws stipulate that records revealing municipal actions for example court documents, police arrest records, marriage licenses, traffic violations and more are open and accessible to the populace, largely because of the Oregon Public Records Law. All pertaining information about the multitude of happenings of authorities, city courts, and local government are contained in these records, and are presumed public unless formally redacted. These laws provide the people of America, and Cayuse, the capability to examine and realize their legal rights, the precedents that led to those rights, and when those rights are infringed on, which in turn creates a more free and transparent society for everyone.
