> It's a shame that we don't have criminal charges for government employees that violate the 4th amendment

We do. See, e.g., 18 USC 241, Conspiracy against rights, and 18 USC 242, Deprivation of rights under color of law.

Its just that the people who would prosecute those charges are often not inclined to do so for federal government agents doing so as a matter of policy rather than as rogue actors.
