But have you considered how much fun breaking the speed limit is?

  I know you intended it to be a bit of a throwaway comment, but I think you hit on something very fundamental and human which explains why everyone is so outraged by things like this: taking risks is part of life, the thrill is the enjoyment. That's what true freedom feels like... and also responsibility, since if you mess up, you also face the consequences. Things like this take away not only freedom but also normalise and encourage a condition of continuous subservience. Those in power want everyone to live a sterile, "healthy" life under their control, one with neither risk nor personal freedom.

    How about my freedom to go about my day without having to worry that someone decided they wanted to take a "risk" that moment? Commute is supposed to be efficient, boring and predictable. Not a thrill ride, there are sport tracks for that.

      That's not called freedom --- it's cowardice, the state of being afraid to live. Maybe making you too scared to do anything without government permission is the end game of stuff like this.
