Wouldn't a permanent surveillance reveal that humans are biologically unfit to follow "laws" and keep up with their changes? Humans do mistakes all the time, especially when they are tired or under pressure, or maybe they don't have the time to read the hundred of pages of law and they simply would like to live without fear of being prosecuted for every single small mistakes they may make.
For example, in Taiwan, if someone drops trash somewhere where they shouldn't have, and police finds you, what's are the results ? A full fine ? A warning ? An investigation to understand if the person was intentionally breaking the law ?
Wouldn't a mass surveillance system force people to never go outside, by fear of unintentionally breaking the law and get caught ?

I find it more likely that enforcement would be relatively rare, and selective. Rare so that people still go outside. Selective in a way that marginalizes anyone who gets in the way of the people in charge. After all, they'll be able to find a record of criminal activity for anyone.
