If it was planted then surely you would make sure it's Hayleys
Maybe not required if they were confident enough that the WA Justice system would probably just accept the evidence, similar to what was known as noble cause corruption, as mentioned in ex NSW Detective Gary Jubelin's recent book exposing/alleging some of the old-time NSW policing methods.

'Throughout 1995, the royal commission starts to expose another kind, where cops weren’t simply allowing crooks to break the law but were themselves committing crimes to make sure crooks get caught.

The newspapers call it ‘noble cause’ corruption. Looking back, I realise we were first warned about it at the police academy, when I was training to become a police constable and they asked us, ‘If a child has been murdered and you find the offender standing over the dead body can you bash him?’ The instructor winked. It was accepted – even laughed at. If somebody was bad, we made sure he got punished. In plain clothes, I heard stories about suspects being loaded with false evidence.

When I was studying for the detectives’ course, there was an old joke going round about a magistrate telling a cop in court that he’d seen the same gun used as an exhibit once too often and didn’t want to see it again.

Later, when I rode out with the Stick-Ups, I sometimes had doubts about the strength of the evidence we collected, but it still seemed to get convictions.

When I went back to Hornsby, working as a detective, I’d learned from these experiences. I sat with the older cops in the back bar of the Blue Gum Hotel, and started to hear more in the silences between people than in what they were actually saying.

To be honest, I don’t think there’s a cop who signed up when I did who hasn’t heard something, whether it’s detectives holding a scrum down to agree what version of events to give in court, or carrying a spare pistol on certain jobs, so they can plant it on a suspect.'
