Larry, the problem is that the only EFFECTIVE way of preventing
the police from violating people's rights is to make the
violation cause all the police's work to be in vain. Sure,
you say, prosecute the cops. Then you have the problem that
you need to *prove beyond a reaosnable doubt* that they committed
an offense. You may not be able to do this, even though you can
raise enough questions about the way the evidence was collected that
it really shouldn't be allowed in.
