The Arkansas Supreme Court set the rule in Hengel v. City of Pine Bluff. The 1991 case held that daily arrest logs and jail shift sheets are open records. Lincoln County runs under this rule.

Some data stays back under § 12-12-1003, such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and medical notes. § 25-19-107 sets the appeal path if the agency blocks or stalls the reply.
