Police are, in theory, already subject to the same physical tracking by automatic license plate readers as the rest of the population. But, police are able to get a pass from other cops when they employ counter-measures to defeat the tracking, so the reality is that the tracking does not apply to them. E.g., cops foiling automatic license plate readers[1] using methods that would cause non-police to be ticketed.

And, if somehow you manage to prevent abuse like the above, laws will be passed that grant exceptions for the powerful and their enforcers[2][3]. Many of the existing laws in this category recognize that privacy is essential for personal security and safety-- but only grant that security and safety to the privileged few.

We need to enshrine a strong right to privacy in law-- attacking surveillance head on (in the US, this means a constitutional amendment, or it will be [more] vulnerable to laws/courts granting exceptions). While sympathetic, I don't think that trying to reign in surveillance through making it equitable (on paper), are going to succeed.
