The insurance blatantly incentivizes police departments to violate rights as a matter of policy. This might seem contradictory, but it’s not when you consider the real purpose of the police.

This is a problem with any kind of insurance. It’s called moral hazard. Does homeowner’s insurance incent arson? Actually yes, but rarely.
