Its principle. My criminal record is clean (except 3 or 4 speeding tickets), and I know of no one personally who is impacted. I sincerely believe if you are free, you should be free, none of this half-assed bullsh*t.
If anything, these lists could be dangerous to the very people you want to protect. Having these lists available makes it more likely that we decide its ok to let an iffy marginal case go "well, the public will be informed so our conscience is clear. If someone is hurt, oh well we did the best we could." Bullcrap, if someone wants to reoffend you think a damned list will stop them? Your kids wont memorize faces and even if they do they would be ambushed. The offenders are also usually capable of walking more than 1,000 feet at a time.
Its security theater to give you the false illusion that you know where all the bad people are, so you feel safer. Well you arent safer, to the extent that danger exists, these lists do squat, all you do is make life miserable for the Romeo and Juliet bullcrap cases who shouldnt be on the list while not protecting anyone at all from the people you are scared of.
If someone is dangerous, dont think that a list will make everything all better, increase the sentences or declare them legally crazy.
