What is this?
Online records aid county
Published 12:00 p.m., November 27, 2007
It was a good move that Otter Tail County court records are now accessible online. Clearly, any and all records that are considered public should be available online, provided they can be placed online using reasonable resources.
While court records have always been available to the public, it required a trip to the courthouse to do so. Considering the size of Otter Tail County, and the fact that those interested in a particular case may not be from the area, a court record available online is certainly more public than that which is available only at the courthouse.
Let’s hope the county continues to move toward getting all of its public records online.
