Are there any consequences to prevent this from happening again? I am unfamiliar w/ German approaches to illegal police activities (even if barely illegal and retroactively determined), but I know in other countries the absence of any consequences allows these things to repeatedly happen.

This won't cause consequences whatsoever. Police and judiciary enjoy effectively impunity in Germany. Happens all the time. Just to give another recent example: https://www.welt.de/regionales/hamburg/article180254886/Polizeieinsatz-in-der-Hamburger-Hafenstrasse-war-rechtswidrig.html https://www.welt.de/regionales/hamburg/article180254886/Poli...

Effectively there will be no consequences. Technically Zwiebelfreunde could file charges against the judge who signed the orders or the police who executed them, but effectively they will not be prosecuted, let alone convicted. Nearly all illegal police activity in Germany had no real consequences, because there is a „high trust” in them by ruling parties. Some examples from the last year: http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/g20-polizei-soll-rechtswidrig-granatpistole-eingesetzt-haben-a-1176695.html http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/g20-polizei-soll-recht... https://www.hessenschau.de/panorama/durchsuchung-des-asta-studierendenhauses-war-rechtswidrig,rechtswidrige-durchsuchung-asta-100.html https://www.hessenschau.de/panorama/durchsuchung-des-asta-st...
