My problem with it is that once you have total surveillance it is hard to get rid of. And even if I trust the current goverment, do I trust the next?

Even trusted governments can't guarantee that bad actors cannot access the data captured by the surveillance system.

If a government need total surveillance, it is because the government don't trust its people, which is because the people does not trust the government.

This cannot fix trust issues with surveillance, you must solve this with more/better democracy, not police.
