Dear Anders, You might look to the world of filesharing, e.g. the implementation of IPRED in Sweden (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7978853.stm). Måns Svensson and Stefan Larsson at Lund University have done some fantastic work on filesharing that have empirical findings related to surveillance. For instance, they have a 2012 New Media and Society piece titled "Intellectual property law compliance in Europe: Illegal file sharing and the role of social norms" that looks at the implementation of IPRED. The piece is focused on the issue of social norms, but as a side finding shows changes in behavior. They have other work in this area as well - see the Cybernorms working group, http://cybernormer.se/about-us/
I know the legality issues are different - but the underlying questions about what people do when they think they are being watched could be helpful.
