We are already tracked on almost all our journeys. You are unlike to be able to make a journey on any A/M road in the UK without being tracked. Occasionally a criminal case appears in the news where it’s clear they were able to track the culprits across the country with the network.

That goes for cameras in general. What a worthy adversary for #1. Not to mention the enormous abuses with ANPR. It seems like it's mostly used to harass political dissidents. Tommy Robinson was routinely stopped and questioned by police. Sure, nobody in their right mind likes Tommy Robinson, but targetted harassment by the police definitely isn't okay either.
