That's not the best example. It's when an authority like the Police abuse their power towards their own ends. planting evidence would be a better example.

Abuse of authority involves using one's position of power to exploit or harm others, while covering up a crime involves hiding evidence or information to evade consequences. While they can be related, abuse of authority is more about misuse of power, while covering up a crime specifically involves misleading or obstructing justice.
