Does the other person have to agree to you checking on them?
If not how do you prove you are in a relationship with them and not just someone digging for dirt on someone else.
The disclosing unproven allegations is worrying as well, innocent until proven guilty out of the window
I agree there are problems. How can someone's criminal record be accessed? And if there are mental issues involved, medical records? I doubt if anything resembling full disclosure can be achieved.

On the other hand, police over here regularly inform a community if a convicted sex-offender is released into that community. Pictures and all. Not really the same deal, but similar.

I'm sure a system which is less than perfect, but still quite adequate can be devised.

But something has to be done. Too many women are dying. And kids.
