West Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act guarantees its locals the right to seek out, acquire, and use records held by authorities, including arrest records, court public records, marriage and divorce certificates, and records of traffic infractions, and this right extends to the residents of East Bank. This legislation, itself in line with the Freedom of Information Act at the federal level, gives East Bank residents with particulars concerning cases of governmental involvement, such as the names and addresses of those involved, the activities leading up an occurrence, results and sentences passed down, and more. East Bank is invested in promoting a free and open society, and embraces these laws and regulations, presenting its residents the tools they require to keep both law enforcement and criminals alike liable for their practices.
