That seems to be overly optimistic. While compensation lawsuits for police misconduct are frequently successful, firing a bad cop is very hard and prosecuting is even harder, due to the enormous strength of the police unions and the notorious "blue wall" which frequently blocks all attempts for investigation.
Sorry, didn't mean to imply that this is what happens. Just that by design, it's what should happen (I was addressing a specific comment who posed a hypothetical). Your recourse to having your rights forcibly removed by police is to take it to court, where punishment will ideally be administered to fit the violation.
