The argument operates in an idealist realm where the average person is aligned with the ruling class. The surveillance largely serves to buttress property rights rather than public safety. Further, many technically "illegal" activities are entirely legitimate until the working class is liberated - so resisting the state's ability to deploy mass surveillance is simply part of the class struggle. Will this convince a bootlicker? No. Yet, this is why the argument is misleading/false.
