They don't track everyone, they don't even track all underage wizards/witches. Underage witches and wizards are tracked with "the trace." It only detects if magic is performed near the child, doesn't even have to be the kid (see CoS with Dobby.) It is really only monitored for kids who live with muggle parents, it is up to the wizard families to monitor their children. This was stated in the books. Nothing is known about how or why the trace is put on the kids and why it breaks immediately at 17.

No I know, my point is that they have the ability to track people and apparently the ability to use it without outrage

Maybe there was outrage when the trace was devised, I am not sure she has ever given a history on it. Maybe we are just so far removed from it's origin that it is just accepted as a part of life now.
