The Australian Federal Police have successfully identified people using Tor to access Silk Road and prosecutions leading to conviction have arisen from such identifications.
Do you really think that the various police agencies don't have access to dozens of law enforcement run nodes ?
Furthermore, you still have the transport layer. You still connect to the Tor network using the transport layer provided by your ISP. So it's an easy thing to determine if you are connecting to known Tor nodes or not. Once such a determination is made then a more substantive effort can be made to track what you are doing through other means.
