There are many valid reasons to have access to data. Say your neighbor's tree is hanging into your yard and the "renters" won't provide you with the name and address of the property owner? What if you are going into business with someone you do not know and would like to see if they have a criminal record? In many cities this information is still easily available, but just think "what if" it were taken away? More on topic, taking away public records from everyone is a disservice.

Just like California the actions of a few will hurt the many. To me the solution is simple. I can think of three methods to regulate access to records without giving it much thought. Lets say someone wants to review a court case file. They should be required to show valid identification. The ID information is recorded. If the person whose records were viewed reports ID theft, then the name and ID info of the person who reviewed the file is on record. Not good enough? How about requiring anyone who wants access to public records be required to go through a screening process and be fingerprinted. Issue them an ID card to gain access to public records. (This would also generate income for the county or city). Third, what about limiting access to law enforcement, attorneys and PI's. Or at least provide access to a short list of "approved" vendors who would be responsible and liable for providing pubic info to the public with a valid reason. Here we go again.
