Personally, I think it should work like this: any evidence found is admissible in court, but if the cops broke the law to get it, there are legal consequences for them.

The current system is abusable if you have connections with police willing to break some laws to make smoking guns inadmissible to court, and even if it's an honest mistake, the whole "if they looked when they weren't allowed to, you get away with whatever they saw" is just a second bad consequence to the public, assuming the crime was one of the harmful to the public ones.
