This is why, in the US, police officers are issued small bags of illegal drugs such as cocaine or marijuana. That way, when they find someone who needs to be arrested, but there's no evidence, they can just conveniently drop the bags!
It really works out well. Lots of people go to jail, and honest people have nothing to fear from that. If you don't look like you might possibly be dealing drugs, you have nothing to worry about, mostly.
They've already started to expand this technique for terrorism and other crimes. I can only hope they can find a way to keep expanding it!
