Aware of that, however I don't see how it can work in any situation to be honest.

A ) I have an illegal thing in my house, but I register for "please dont shoot me etc". Party B calls the police, door is still likely to be kicked in.

And at what point does it become meaningless if the majority of residential addresses are on the list?
