Specifics matter. I would be fine with an endpoint that given the passport/id card allows to do a basic check for any severe offenses - as often performed for childcare jobs, too.
Anything beyond that sounds bad.
Why? Who cares about "offenses" of a random traveler. Why do you trust an international crime db to be accurate?
Most care about severe offenses. Trust is not binary. Please make your point or I feel like this is getting nowhere.
If the offenses are note-worthy, they should be in jail. If not then no-one needs to be aware of them.
