Technological must come first. Imagine a smartphone app or smart glasses that literally allows you to see every device that is watching or listening to you, for cameras you see the range of the device and microphones too, you now have the power of a real time 3d map of surveillance right before your eyes. Public collective tagging of the owners of such devices, can start to build a map of who is listening or viewing what.
Once this starts to become widely known about, people may start natively avoiding such areas, which would reduce the value of the data gathered. If surveillance is scaled up to combat this, then a public backlash is possible (though not guaranteed) and a poliical/legislative change may occur.
In summary if people realised just how monitored every move they make really was, a change would probably come.

I like the public tagging idea. That could be a website like wikimapia where zones of surveillance are tagged instead of landmarks. Only problem is the cameras that are hidden.
