I know this is r/crazyideas, but this is fully stupid.

As an example, a mistake on a warrant may invalidate any evidence obtained via that warrant, and then invalidate any evidence that is obtained as a result of the evidence obtained via that warrant, and so on. That is more than adequate because it favors the defendant even when the improperly obtained evidence is otherwise demonstrably true. Cases get tossed when this happens and a guilty person goes free because of an administrative mistake. This is our current system.

But to sentence a cop for a felony burglary, for example, because s/he incorrectly applied the search warrant by going into a room and finding evidence of the crime but the room on the search warrant was the bedroom next door… meaning the room with the evidence wasn’t expressly listed on the warrant - well, an administrative/execution error should not get the same punishment as the underlying burglary. Just exclude the evidence and probably toss the case like we already do.

And if there’s a case for the cop doing something illegal - such as lying on the warrant application vs. an honest mistake on the warrant application - there is already a crime that covers that and the cop can be sentenced for the crime they committed… not a crime someone else committed.

No sane person would take employment as a cop if your crazy idea was implemented. We’d only have the most reckless, most foolhardy, and least responsible people serving as cops. Perhaps that is your intent, though, to create chaos in our society.

Things are bad enough as they are - let’s not make them worse!
