Then they'll just report to the insurance that you turned it off and also report all the sensor data anyway.
And you can just rip out the antennas for the telemetry and that won't magically make your safety systems stop working.
You can switch off the safety systems if you want to, but don't pretend you're doing it for privacy reasons.
