There is no problem that the information on past offenders is searchable.

There is a bit of a problem that information on non-offenders is sucked in as well, but even that is moderately ok as long as anyone can see what the system has on them (currently it's not the case), who accessed it and why.

So if you're a criminal, just regularly check whether your data has been accessed and why?

Criminals have right to due process too.

Perhaps the access data should be released with a delay to protect current investigations, or sealed altogether for a very good reason with appropriate authority.
