This effect is called proactive interference.

Proactive interference (PI) is a type of explanation for why we forget or cannot recall information. The PI effect means that forgetting occurs because old memories interfere with our ability to form memories. An example of the PI effect is when you try to learn or memorize a new phone number, however, phone numbers that already exist in your memory interfere with your learning of the new phone number.

baherus [9]

But , we also have people who are wrongfully imprisoned as well as people who have been cheated by the government. There is a “loop hole” for every right we are guaranteed.
