The purpose it to protect people from illegal searches and seizures. But the rule doesn't accomplish that. Since the cops are not penalized for doing the illegal search and seizure the rule punishes the wrong people. You don't punish the cop but punish the citizens and the victims by letting a guilty person go free (in many cases).
