Wisconsin state guidelines dictate that records documenting public activities for example court documents, arrest records, marriage certificates, vehicular infractions and more are open and accessible to the general public, largely as a result of the Wisconsin Open Records Law, which commemorated its centennial anniversary in 2017. All pertinent details about the various happenings of police officers, local courts, and local government are contained in these records, and are assumed public unless legally redacted. These laws provide the people of America, and Oxford, the capability to examine and realize their rights, the precedents that led to those rights, and whenever those rights are infringed upon, which in turn creates a more free and transparent society for everyone.
