I would love to have a LifeLog for my own persoal use and try to as much as possible. I have a terrible memory and being able to recall letters and notes is great.
The problem is that the level of technology needed for the computer to understand all of these inputs (audio, visual, scanned text) is huge and in reality decades away.
As for its effect on democracy and crime, I don't think it is a good idea. The "evidence" would be used to cut corners and jump to conclusions - many of them incorrect. Those who really want to commit crime will be able to alter their LifeLog, just as people now buy false documentation. As for the government: absolute power corrupts absolutely.
