Bad cops routinely get away with the above and worse. What you describe isn't an uncommon tale and what I'm trying to tell you is that cops don't usually get in any trouble for framing innocent citizens, and it usually involves perjury and playing with evidence. It happens all the time and there are almost never consequences to the individual officer when it happens.
This is Diley's 6th or 7th time as a defendant in a federal civil rights lawsuit; you wanna bet he perjured himself during the events giving rise to those other civil actions as well? Judges frequently find police witnesses not credible on motions to suppress-- this is not news to the system.
