they can declare a mistrail, the courts, but that is more risky as it is, because its already on shakey ground.
The court can’t declare a mistrial at this stage because a trial hasn’t started yet.
The court can’t dismiss the charges for a Miranda or 4th amendment violations, because dismissal is not the legal remedy for those violations.
The legal remedy is to suppress the tainted evidence. This can often lead to a posture where the charges are still pending, but the prosecution no longer has any good evidence to present.
