As far as I can tell, law enforcement is not penalized for executing a search warrant that doesn't pan out. Same goes for the courts that approve them, often ignoring a lack of true probable cause and/or being misled by the agents who write these warrants. This is a very bad incentive for all involved that creates innocent victims and hoards of wasted time.
