I think it's fairer to say that the German population is opposed to the idea of surveillance, especially when it happens in public. It's also worth pointing out that "opposition" in this case is extremely tame. The most intense and prolonged protests (not counting the recurring riots surrounding events like G20 or the yearly Mayday protests) Germany has seen in recent history were over COVID measures and even those were pretty mild and didn't do anything. Germans like to complain, but protests usually just fizzle out or lead to delays at best. I think even interest in privacy is waning. Ever since companies have been dragging their heels and making users run through (often outright illegal) cookie consent popups I've been hearing people complain more about privacy protections than about privacy abuses. The attempts to portray these laws as "red tape" have been very effective.
