Seriously, I've never heard of anyone getting arrested from some home address on a server or bitcoin data. At the very minimum the police would need to do what's called a "controlled delivery" to the persons house and confirm the recipient identity and confirm they are receiving the package. Then they'll have a warrant prearranged and verify they opened the package upon entry into the house.
Alternatively, they'll nab someone as they pick up a package at a post office and driving home.
Even in that advanced scenario the people still have a significant degree of plausible deniability, as anyone can send anyone else a letter. So there better be some good proof the person was also the person who bought the Bitcoin and good proof that it was sent to some dealer/drug site.
Plus most of those sites required the user PGP encrypt their address when sending it via the web app, so it's not necessarily accessible on the server even if they have the raw DB.
