Having a court throw out evidence that a cop gathered illegally may seem a rather blunt "weapon", and it is, but it's the only thing that's been shown to actually work.

Problem is, it doesn't actually work. Nobody gets punished except the public at large.

Nonsense. If a cop breaks into a crook's dwelling and gets some evidence, but a court throws out his case, do you think the cop's superiors aren't going to do something about the cop? Especially if it happens with any frequency?
