I can't recommend David Brin's "The Transparent Society" hard enough on this topic [https://books.google.com/books?id=wg4XBQAAQBAJ&pg=PA336&dq=0...].

It's a bit dated, but the basic premise---the pattern of technology getting smaller, cheaper, and easier applies to surveillance technology also---tends to continue to be an accurate depiction.
