I think the only way this stuff is going to stop is when the victims take the cases to trial, and the juries give awards that literally bankrupt municipalities (not this case, per se, but the shootings, home invasions and other violations of constitutional rights that destroy lives). There is no punitive effect on the police when all that happens is the residents foot the bill for their wrongdoing through increased property taxes or insurance costs incurred to settle lawsuits out of court.
Not just bankrupt the municipalities but also those involved directly with the search.
These settlements need to come out of police pension funds. Guarantee they'll think twice about pulling these stunts if their retirements were at risk.
unless officers lose pensions and wage garnishes, it won’t stop. they’ll let taxpayers pay higher taxes.
