i'm not comfortable with our justice system acting on the "high confidence" of some proprietary heuristic with a closed source implementation and little scientific evidence to support its claims, and with little ability for citizens to vet its workings at a detailed level, to see whether it implements their values or the values enshrined by the constitution.
to say nothing of the fact that i have zero interest in using the criminal justice system to look for "druggies" (violent drug dealers, sure, because they're violent; drug abuse is a health problem that the criminal justice system is ill-equipped to deal with).

Me neither, I was using your example (connection to drug dealers). You could similarly apply this to connections to murderous gangs and you have a similar argument. Saying drugs are ok is just detracting from the point.
