Spats,
Thank you for your answer.
I can see where a defendant might settle and pay something less than the cost of a trial even if the chances of the plaintiff winning and be awarded damages were remote.
I the context of this thread, I'd say that the comment that such a policy would generate a flood of lawsuits, I think that the comment is overreaching.
In addition, wouldn't the State find it hard to convict anyone of a crime when the evidence came from an illegal search? Isn't that the primary "punishment" when the State violates the rights of the accused?
