If you're out driving on public roads do you really have any expectation of privacy? Anybody can take a picture of your car...

Would you accept the government require you to wear a private company's gps tracker whenever you are in public?

A somewhat-milder equivalent would be a law that requires you to have a personal ID number visibly affixed to both your front and back at all times outdoors.

Sure, it's tradition, but license-plates started being required over a hundred years ago and the tradeoffs and dangers were not the same.
