There are definitely many public records that should be as widely available as possible, so good work helping municipalities with those. I don't think people are saying that all searchable records are problematic. They are saying that some uses and some specific types of records are problematic -- those that do more harm than good. As an example, if hypothetically I were a victim of some embarrassing emergency, I wouldn't mind being part of anonymous aggregated statistics, but I definitely would object to anybody but myself and essential personnel having open access to the 911 recording, and I definitely wouldn't want my employer or neighbors to know any details or anything linking me to them without my permission or a substantiated court order, released under seal.
