What's interesting is that anyone implementing mass surveillance could care less about your proposed benefits.

I believe technology will ever erode privacy, and that the best we can hope for is to make sure the transparency goes both ways. The government should become more transparent to the people as the people become more transparent to the government. Like you though, I'm afraid we'll end up with a vast and reliable surveillance system which police will be able to use, while the police themselves are still "struggling" to get their body cams to work reliably.
Or exactly the opposite - it may be their primary motivation, with the negatives ending up being caused by others co-opting the system.

Could they? Oh well, that is at least something then.
