What you do on public roads is public.
The idea that law enforcement tapping into existing law enforcement knowledge constitutes as a search of "persons, houses, papers, and effects" does not logically follow for me. It is a search of law enforcements own property.

  It’s public, but that does not necessarily imply that I will be surveilled at all times by the state while out in public.

    It does not imply that, but it does imply that you do not have control over the distribution of facts of what happens there.

    I believe the constitution says otherwise.
