Excellent points on your online blog that pertain to public records.  I've certainly heard such concerns over the years and I do acknowledge that there is a down-side to public records access.  On the other hand, leaving public records in the safekeeping of incompetent state agencies is hardly reasonable, as proven time and again.  Those private credit agencies do not provide open, free public access to the data contained in their databases.  I would proffer that the idea of a online database of the open-source version that I propose could enable scammers and fraudsters. 

My personal solution would be to eliminate public records:  marriage becomes part and parcel of a  religious registry (like in Israel to this day), deeds become things kept in safety deposit boxes like in old England, mortgages become signed 2-party papers enforced in courts, maps become things that cartographers and libraries trade in, births are established by family bibles and baptismal certificates or their equivalent, corporations are dissolved in favor of partnerships and business trusts, and real Constitiutional money (silver and gold coin) is returned to our economic system.  None of these dreams appear to have a probability of occurring, except in novels and fringe fantasies. 

By empowering people with information through Project Open Records, we take the power away from the closed state agencies and the credit corporations, giving it to those who own it.  With reasonably easy redaction procedures, clear disclosures, records-locks, log-in and verification procedures, some of the security issues can be addressed and minimized.
