Because of the U.S. Freedom of Information Act, information such as court documents, arrest records, marriage certificates, and more are all accessible for the public to find, research, and gather, and New Jerseyans are not any exception with thanks to the Oregon Public Records Law. All crucial information on the many happenings of police officers, municipal courts, and local government are incorporated into these records, and generally are presumed public unless formally redacted. These laws offer the people of America, and Grand Ronde, the ability to study and understand their rights, the precedents that led to those rights, and whenever those rights are infringed on, which in turn results in a more free and transparent society for all.
