Wyoming state laws dictate that records documenting municipal decisions including court documents, police arrest records, marriage licenses, vehicular transgressions and more are open and offered to the populace, largely due to the Wyoming Sunshine Law. All significant specifics on the multitude of happenings of police officers, city courts, and local government are incorporated into these records, and are presumed public unless officially redacted. Citizens of Opal have the ability to better realize their rights because of these laws, and the transparency offered by the release of these records helps to keep both criminals and regulators culpable with regard to their actions, subsequently leading to a more open and free society for everybody.
