Do you really think that the various police agencies don't have access to dozens of law enforcement run nodes ?

Did they identify someone accessing Silk Road via TOR, or detect drugs in a physical parcel that was mailed to the recipient? I doubt it was the former.
BTW, hidden darknet/.onion sites like Silk Road never have a "cleartext" exit - encryption is end to end, from the client all the way to the hidden server - so you would have to break the multiple encryption layers of TOR in order to be able to see the content that someone is accessing.
