This is covered in David Brin's book The Transparent Society:

There are actually a lot of benefits to surveillance like this, but we need to be able to watch the watchers, so to speak.

In England we have The Surveillance Commissioners who should do a reasonable job of oversight.

But how can we be sure? Maybe we need another level of oversight...
