The only reduction in incentives is because the actual cost of poor search tactics is not transparent. It's hidden in evidentiary rulings that make conviction of likely guilty defendants more difficult.
So, what you're saying is that as soon as the public realizes what a terrible job the cops are doing--because they're paying damages instead of reducing the chances of conviction--the cops will stop doing their job altogether. If that is in fact the response, then it seems a) the public should see that attitude and b) those cops should be replaced with someone who will do the job, and do it according to the law.
