Maybe the real problem is that there exists a system design to allow querying a person's family connections to police interactions. This isn't even just convictions, but basically any accusations or investigations. The wording is kind of vague, but I think this framing is supported by the article.

The existence of such a system just seems dystopian.

Seems entirely reasonable that issues of domestic violence should be known to schools, but this goes way beyond that.

It's only a matter of time before more public institutions manufacture reasons to use the same system. Surely the NIH should know about your police interactions before treating you.
