The courts must come up with another way of punishing cops/governments for civil rights violations than throwing out the evidence.
Letting the criminal go free, deters the civil rights violations but punishes all of society in the process.
One option is that courts should make officers/decision makers due community service in their free time for rights violations, but keep the criminals locked up.

I am in favor (not kidding) of a return of the Pillory. It's a very public sentence, carried out in front of everybody, that takes a day or so and costs next-to-nothing to administer.
For those more awkward situations, I am in favor of the cat-o-nine-tails, publicly administered.
Both punishments severe, unpleasant, appropriate, and quickly over-and-done-with. Better still, they are inexpensive on the public purse.
