I dunno, it's kind of like the no-fly list, an opaque thing that people can get on without their knowledge and it makes their life miserable. I wouldn't be surprised if CPD didn't use the utmost discretion when deciding who is on it...
I agree that a gang list would be a useful tool if it were properly maintained and accurate, or even some sort of probabilistic model (e.g. "the urban politician has a 0.5% chance of being associated with gang activity"), but it could be that it has turned into a tool to harass people.
