Ambition and Corruption, Fellow Travelers

As we've been getting massive doses of lately, public officials aren't above turning corrupt especially when it lines their pockets. Planting evidence can justify a considerable amount of increased funding for the cops and loss of personal freedoms for the public.

Assuming you can hack your way into the system, you can mess with the clock and plant evidence indicating the owner is a criminal of just about any type of your choosing. Most judges are like the rest of the general population and untrained enough to be able to tell if an "IT forensic expert" or a "police security expert" is telling the truth or not.

If you want to scare the people into submitting to even more surveillance, just find some stooges to plant some terrorist manifestos on their laptops or desktops. Go hack back into their computers, find the planted evidence and then go publicize it and taint the entire jury pool. Throw him in jail and when he gets out, Mr Public Official is out of office and retired somewhere overseas.
