It forces them to find separate incriminating evidence. If they are unable to do that, they've failed their job. Though not extracted from a detective's left pocket, this sounds like a penalty to me.

They are civil servants with secure positions. If they fail in their jobs we pay more than they do. We throw out a very important element to our system (determining the truth to get the right verditct) to inadequately protect another element to our legal system (protecting peoples rights).
