The public has a right to know, but I'd rather that right to know came from the police department, and I'd like to know exactly what they did when.
How much does the public really deserve to know, if I was a burgler, paid my dues to society and now am living a good life, does the public need to know that the person living next door to them is a former burgler?

Yes, I have that same issue with this... long after the offender has served their time, they still have this scarlet letter that is forever pinned to them via Google, Wayback machine etc.
