I don't plan on making the database public. While I myself don't promote discrimination, I know others may not feel the same. I understand the dangers of a list like this, better than you may think, but I still feel the deterrent such a list provides to criminal activity outweighs the risk of someone accessing and abusing the information.
Consider that in most of our own worlds, or at least the one I came from, the police force and government had far more to go on than they do here. Fingerprints, dental records, police records, anything and everything that the United States of America and other countries would subtly monitor for their citizens protection... all that is lost, here, for those who came through the portal. All we have is some old books and discs that reveal possibly accurate information on some citizens, and is not enough to convict anyone, and people's unconfirmed answers to a few interview questions from when they first entered. I'm sorry that this change has to be so overt, but it's a system that should have been in place from the beginning.
