I don't think there are documented cases of the SOD information being used as probable cause (in the sense that it was presented in court as justification for a search). Much of the point of the program is to avoid that happening.

It seems likely there are cases of the SOD information being used to target people for abusive traffic stops (the agent in the Reuters article says And so we'd alert the state police to find an excuse to stop that vehicle, and then have a drug dog search it).
