Do you think destroying technology and flipping cop cars is going to end the surveillance state? While an interesting thought experiment, it seems unlikely. If anything, it would give the pro-surveillance lobby enough political capital to further reduce whatever legal privacy protection we already have.

There is no "privacy protection". The organization that supposedly protects our privacy is the exact same one we need protection from. It's like a bunch of sheep trusting that wolves will protect them from getting eaten by wolves.
but if the wolves are smart a bit, the sheep can trust that the wolves would eat them in moderation and in orderly fashion as to avoid starving themselves when all the sheep are suddenly eaten.

That's beside the point, and of no comfort to the sheep that get eaten.
