The only deterrent was that evidence obtained thereby would be
tossed out.

And you don't recognize the inconsistency between these two statements?

Please to understand that *I* recognize it (I got 'A's), it is the police
and other LEOs who do not. They fervently believe they can badger a
confession out of you then based on you're admissions find enough evidence
to convict without ever mentioning your confession in court - and sometimes
(most times?) it works. Shouldn't, but it does. Most Americans would have a
hissy fit if they knew how our system really worked.
