South Dakota’s Open Meetings Law guarantees its citizens the ability to search for, get, and utilize records kept by authorities, which includes arrest records, court records, marriage and divorce certificates, and records of traffic infractions, and this privilege also includes the citizens of Bonesteel. This legislation, itself in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act at the country wide level, supplies Bonesteel citizens with particulars concerning cases of governmental intervention, such as the names and addresses of those involved, the events leading up an incidence, results and sentences passed down, and more. Both law enforcement and criminals can be held accountable because of their choices because of these laws, which provide the citizenry with the resources they will need to look into concerns independent of their authorities.
