> Want to spend an hour on the side of the highway while the police search your vehicle? Again. I don't commit crimes, so this isn't likely to happen to me. And if it does, they will find nothing, and I'll be slightly inconvenienced. It'll suck, but you know what else is inconvenient? Getting bipped.

Tracking your movements in public spaces doesn't diminish your freedom in any way, so nothing is being tread on.
