Naaah. Considering to what lengths Light would go to achieve his goals, he'd probably make it about his demi-human, multi-gendered identity being racially profiled by police. Then simply get the police to release the investigators' names in public, or get then out of the police force all-together.

I would argue that if someone like that appeared in modern-day western society, Kira would've won long ago and it wouldn't have even taken a fraction of the effort and sacrifice he had to make in the original series.
