Wisconsin state laws stipulate that records revealing municipal decisions for example court documents, arrest records, marriage licenses, vehicular infractions and more are open and available to the general public, largely as a result of the Wisconsin Open Records Law, which celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2017. All essential details about the various happenings of law enforcement officials, local courts, and local government are incorporated into these records, and generally are presumed public unless officially redacted. These laws provide the people of America, and Fond du Lac, the capability to research and realize their legal rights, the precedents that brought about those rights, and when those rights are infringed on, which in turn leads to a more free and transparent society for all.
