Technocracy

I am from America which isn't a unified surveillance state, but has a lot of private and government institutions independently spying on their citizens. Corporations and websites collect a lot of data online while the government agencies like police watch everyone with license plates, street cameras, etc. It has potential to become really bad even though at the moment surveillance is not evenly applied or centrally controlled. The legal system has a certain high bar on evidence that is legally obtained, but there factors such as plea pressure and classified evidence that the regime can use to punish or persecute people in some cases. What do you guys think? I am personally against it especially by the private sector. I don't think citizens inherently need to be managed or spied on. Especially when the government is so uneven in who it spies on or who gets legally punished the harshest I cannot place enough trust or support into security measures. Especially when in some states they have forced labor in jails incentivizing them to arrest as many people as possible.
