When they stop monitoring you, is when you need to worry. Obviously
then, they no longer fear the citizenry.
I’ll accept that when I hear of the first military drone shot down by civilian weapons. Until then, it’s clear which side the power parity is biased toward.
If the government really had confidence in the citizenry, civilians wouldn’t have been restricted with 3-shot burst weapons, and pistols.
They monitor you so that they are always prepared to take you out with the least effort.
