That's not how this works. When a service provider detects a match, they send the file when they report the match. They don't just say "hey, some file matched this hash" and then SWAT kicks down the door, because that would be stupid. They send the file, NCMEC looks at it, and then forwards it to law enforcement who also looks at it. If it's a random file that happens to collide, NCMEC won't send it to law enforcement, and if they did, law enforcement wouldn't act on it.
