In just about every miscarriage of justice, the police officers involved have simply "got away with it", with comments like "unlikely to get a fair trial".
The best case for this was the Stefan Kiszko one. West Yorkshire Police (the same officers who mucked up the Yorkshire Ripper case btw) knew that Kizsko was not guilty of killing Leslie Moleseed and hid this evidence. When found and when Kizsko was finally released and free, the police involved who had carried out this perversion of justice - from Wiki:
In 1994 the surviving senior officer in charge of the original investigation, Detective Superintendent Dick Holland, and the retired forensic scientist who had worked on the case, Ronald Outteridge, were formally charged with "doing acts tending to pervert the course of justice" by allegedly suppressing evidence in Kiszko's favour, namely the results of scientific tests on semen taken from the victim's body and from the accused.[15] On May Day 1995 the case was challenged by defence barristers, arguing that the case was an abuse of process and that charges should be stayed as the passage of time had made a fair trial impossible. The presiding magistrate agreed and as the case was never presented before a jury, the law regards the accused as presumed innocent.[18]
Summary? The Police can do what they like, knowing full well they will get away with it if ever caught out.
