JKS beat me to the punch on all counts.
You have the freedom to travel wherever you want. As in you dont need passports to travel across country or be out on the street in the middle of the night.
You dont have the "right" to do so driving a car on the public road minus any sort of regulation. You can drive whatever you want on your own property, but not on the roads my loved ones share without proper insurance, licensing etc.
Police running your plate have nothing to do with a presumption of guilt;

The United States Court of Appeal noted that every court that has considered the issue of privacy in license plates has concluded that no such privacy exists. xi In conclusion the court assert: “Thus, so long as the officer had a right to be in a position to observe the defendant's license plate, any such observation and corresponding use of the information on the plate does not violate the Fourth Amendment. In this case, Officer Keeley had a right to be in the parking lot observing the van -- he was in a public place conducting a routine patrol. The district court's finding that the van was not parked illegally is thus irrelevant -- such a finding goes only to probable cause, which is not necessary absent a Fourth Amendment privacy interest. Once Officer Keeley conducted the check and discovered the outstanding warrant, he then had probable cause to pull over the vehicle and arrest the man identified as Ellison. The arrest and resulting search during which the handguns were found in no way violated the Fourth Amendment, and the district court's order granting the motion to suppress was in error.”
