Very possible.
Other possibility: people started just asking more and more of the system. They saw every news-worthy criminal had a story of high CC and started clamoring for the police and justice department to take a more proactive stance in stopping crime before it actually occurs, while never really thinking about what it'd mean for the innocent.
