Some pros with a decrease in government surveillance is people would be less worried, they would get back more of their privacy, and society would be less than a government controlled society. Worrying about the government could put some distrust into them when trust is suppose to be in them. Peoples privacy matters, if they knew they were being watched then they would act more of an law-abiding citizen than they would if they weren't.
