So a measure designed to determine whether not there is a crime being commited violates privacy? To me it's just the police using a new investigative tool.

Only if it's WITHOUT judicial authorization. Just like any other criminal investigation.
Personally, I'd rather see 'em using some sort of chemical sniffer to sniff out meth labs.
