I think so, we don't have state ids. The people are not generally against cctv as far as i can tell, and thats why we have the most survelance. The people more or less trust the state structures. You can see this in the police force, its not combatative unlike, say, the US. The state and the people work together, and thats a cultural norm spanning thousands of years. There are lots of superficially democratically questionable things in uk society, like monarchy. But it all works out becuase i think people do feel empowered with a say in the state apparatus. British people are extremely honest https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-people-most-honest-in-the-world-and-have-uk-politicians-to-thank-a6922306.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/h... . I think this has been enabled by a long history of rule following, from the rulers and the people.
On your actual point i doubt there is noticable difference in laws. I think culture is more important than laws and our laws are just codifying our culture
