Not sure how I feel about this. Yes, I like transpearency, especially in the justice system. Not sure if everyone who can now use this site/information is going to use it ethically. I can see it leeding to a lot of exclusions to housing, services and employment resulting from this.

Criminals have enough luxeries these days anyways.
Why shouldnt a citizen be able to check up on a renter or employee?
I would definately use this to see who I am dealing with regardless of the circumstance.
Are their liberties being abused by being able to check into their past??
Thats the chance you take when you do a crime.
