Great: no surveillance

Not so great: surveillance on everyone and catching criminals with it, but within a democratic framework

Disastrous: surveillance on everyone, while giving a pass to insurgents attempting to overthrow democratic governance, because if they take over the surveillance infrastructure you're doomed
