I would imagine that this database is going to be used to supplement police work rather than substitute it. I don't think police or prosecutors will try to press charges based on the database searches alone because it is very unlikely that something like that would hold up in court. They will also have to show other evidence that the person in question did in fact commit the crime. For example, in this case, it seems like the software justified the drug sting, but I imagine the drugs and paraphernalia found at the scene was what justified the actual arrest and prosecution.
