This is exactly, precisely the opposite of what the impact will be.

For example:

- every technology has false positives. False positives here will mean 4th amendment violations and will add an undue burden on people who share physical characteristics with those in the training data. (This is the updated "fits the description."

- this technology will predictably be used to enable dragnets in particular areas. Those areas will not necessarily be chosen on any rational basis.

- this is all predictable because we have watched the War on Drugs for 3 generations. We have all seen how it was a tactical militaristic problem in cities and became a health concern/addiction issues problem when enforced in rural areas. There is approximately zero chance this technology becomes the first use of law enforcement that applies laws evenly.
