The qualitative difference is that the cop is not sitting with you in the car when he's observing you.
The problem is the mechanism of observation. I agree that while on public roads, you don't have any right to privacy. But what if I were to drive onto my own ranch? In the normal case, the police would need a warrant to enter onto my property. With a device planted onto my vehicle, they are now observing me in an area where before the law provided protection from surveillence without the consent of a judge.
THAT is the difference, and that is why this bad.
