The cops do throw the book at these jagoffs. It’s the magistrates and judges who make sure there’s no consequences for crime in Allegheny County.

Actually that’s the prosecutors that usually fuck up the case with the cops. Judges just apply the law that’s before them.
Search warrant gets tossed because it violates Article 8 or 4th, that’s on the state.
Confession illegally obtained, that’s on the state.

Everything is a plea or merely dismissed. Anything that sticks is probation or some other laughable consequence.
