You seem to have a naive idea of what 'fight it in court' means. When you enter the court system, especially as as a defendant, it is not as if you have been teleported into a domain where enlightened rationality rules, no matter what the constitutional theory says is supposed to happen. Even if the law is nominally on the defendant's side, there is a good chance that she will be threatened with charges carrying significant penalties, possibly backed up by nothing more than the testimony of the officer who violated her rights in the first place, and offered a plea deal. Accepting the plea deal forecloses on any chance of righting a wrong.
