I never said I don't want accountability, I totally do. I want courts to be in control of this, oversight, etc. But with those things in place, I do want this.

Perhaps it's a cultural thing. I don't see the government as fundamentally against me. Yes, it has serious agency issues, and goes wrong from time to time, but essentially the government is "us", not "them". The opposing sentiment seems to be particularly popular in the US, perhaps that's part of the divide. I want the society, through appropriate representatives, to be in control of people abusing the roads, and I value that more than individual's illusory rights to road privacy (since if the government wants to track them, they'll do it anyway with barely more difficulty).
This breaks down in oppressive states, but that's not what we're talking about here.
