Doesn't the same apply to the rulings on the exclusionary rule? I certainly share your healthy doubt of authority, but judges hardly seem reluctant to bend over backwards to find ways to let evidence in under the current system. They might be more inclined to send a message to the police if they weren't letting murderers off.
