Let's say as a result of Creation's sharing of this data with local governments, crime is nonexistent.
Based on only what we've said is that a good or bad deal? Also, all of your examples were either purchased or have alternatives, so, yeah.

I think most of the people here would say that's a bad deal - but I don't think there's any way to say definitively that such is the case.
It's possible a more open society with less secrets is a better society - but I don't know that, and I don't know that the opposite is true.
Your scenario is way too terse to yield some actual insights and honestly seems aimed for a particular outcome. Questions that remail open, e.g.: What kind of crime? How can the governments get rid of crime using data alone? What side-effects does the data-sharing have? Are those side-effects less or more severe than the crime used to be? Can you know all potential side-effects for the future? there other approaches to solve the crime problem?
Not all bad means are equally bad. E.g. Taxes are a necessary evil that we accept, but we don't, as a general rule, let agents of the government just take whatever they want (hence the recent controversy over civil forfeiture).
