"Planting" evidence is becomming more common every day. Do the cops have to plant evidence on innocent people now because they have no one else to arrest - having taken all criminals off the streets?

But The (my Local) LAW, and God, forbid I light a cigarette in an outside public park. I'm Judas. "Sir, you can't smoke in this park." Maybe they'll plant a cigarette on me.
More stories about cops planting evidence are becoming the norm. Makes me wonder if those who do this are trying to have a high number quota of arrests and are trying to climb the promotion ladder as quickly as they can? Or in cahoots with the prosecutor's office?
