Does Canada have a criminal database where you can look up offenders like you can here in the U.S.?
-
I wanted to look up a guy that lives in Canada who is quite possibly a sexual predator. Is there any way I can look up his name on a data base like we can here in the U.S.?

Answer:
While I understand the reasoning for providing information on sexual predators and pedophiles, and sometimes believe that our Canadian laws are too lax, there is also the other side of the coin. We believe that upon completion of your sentence and in order to help convicted criminals re-integrate into society, it is important that be able to regain most if not all of the rights that they had prior to their incarceration, and that includes the right to privacy. Many people convicted of a crime are ashamed of their past and try to put it behind them, but with regulations like Megan's Law in USA, that cannot happen. Someone only has to look up a list of the local sex offenders living in the area, and they cannot ever escape their past. Now victims and advocates of this law will say, but these are the criminals here. We need to protect society from them. True, but if they are branded criminals all their lives, then how do they ever become rehabilitated? They get frustrated and depressed, can't find a job, can't live in a community, and so they fall back to drugs, alcohol, and eventually re-offend. And then we say "Not surprised, we told you this would happen" Appropriate authorities are responsible for monitoring these offenders in Canada,making sure they do not re-offend or get jobs at schools, or move into a child-friendly neighbourhood. And if they are a risk of re-offending, they are not allowed out in the first place.

Absolutely not. Regardless of the background of our citizens, we are protected by privacy laws. You may not agree, but in this country we value dignity and respect of the individual, no matter what. Something your country severely lacks.

No. That is a serious infringement of Canadian privacy laws.
