Sounds like standard operating procedure when you want to get someone convicted, regardless of the truth.
That’s what the police always want. Their role in the game of law is being conviction-maximizers. Given leave they’d tile the universe with convicts.
That’s why courts have judges who are supposed to be independent of the police. (At least, in the better class of country.)
