Historically, the police department in San Francisco enforced very different norms from the police in Amarillo.
Now with increased mobility and the distance-collapsing features of the Internet, there is a felt need for norm enforcement at the national or international level. This is where the surveillance comes in. Organizations like the FBI or Interpol chase big norm violators, but they don't touch the stuff that the neighborhood patrolman would tackle (in the Robert Peel view of policing).

But this doesn't stop a bunch of Karens in some gated community in LA from getting their panties in a knot over what some wackos in da yoop are up to and thanks to the internet the former has plenty of stuff streamed right to their iphones in 1080p to get pissed off about. Norms don't generalize to a national level except for very broad norms and very small nations.
