I don't think it needs to or will go that far. Policing of public channels is sufficient.
As an analogy, we don't have government cameras in our homes to monitor our activities, but we do have government cameras on public property at red lights and busy/dangerous intersections, as well as in subways, and few complain about that.
Currently all of the P2P/piracy monitoring is done only through open, public channels. No government hacking or spyware has been needed or implemented.
