I feel like this should be unconstitutional but I can't figure out how. I mean the state assuming citizens will break the law in future to a certain minimum and being willing to arrest innocents if no one breaks the law.
I guess presumption of innocence (which is not explicitly in the constitution but has supreme court precedent, however much that's worth these days). if every person is presumed to be innocent, then saying "there must be at least X number of guilty people, go find them" is contradictory to that presumption
