Set up a system used by every other civilized country whereby if the cops infringe on your rights there is some way to receive compensation from the police or the government.
If the cops screw up, the victim of the crime should not be penalized. The idea that probative evidence would be thrown out really only punishes the victim and not the police.
England doesn't have the exclusionary rule yet I have never heard that defendants rights are abused all the time or that their system is completely unfair.
Our system does not put enough focus on the truth.
