'you are too arrogant' line
Frankly the way I see it its exactly like that. the whole thing felt like Aizen interrupted some sort of plan.
that also adds new light to SS events. Aizen possibly acted at the moment he did not only because he wanted Hogyoku(he could have went in more silent ways), but also to throw a wrench into SS plans(since he knows the secret about SS and the truth about Soul king,also known as the secret that made him rebel).
Frankly I would not have been surprised if Ichigo was the royal key and that is still quite possible, frankly, which would put the fake-karakura events into entirely new light too.

And for the SS side, i guess i see why it's like that. Since he's human and all, he probably doesn't know how to "control" His powers and supress it like a proper shinigami. So it suppresses it. If they didn't supress it, they'd have a situation like aizen, where if anyone approached them they would die from the seer amount of power he has;
Except that Ichigo is not radiating constantly. he is leaking form time to time and most of that was before the whole ishida encounter. After regaining his powers with Urahara before SS arc, I believe he was not leaking more than normal shinigami in the gigai.
For starters there are few problems with the whole badge thing:
1) they did not tell him. Captains get told about limiters. If it was nothing suspicious or malevolent, why not just outright say "hey, this thingy here fixes your reiatsu leak problems". They did not. This leads to 2)
2)From the way Ginjou words it. SS does not want to just "supress" ichigo. they want to control him as weapon.Thanks to badge they will always find him and could off him if he revolts. SS decides Ichigo should wipe out some nu-quincy race? Ichigo would have to do it or die, for example.
3) it reeks of Big Brother. The badge system is bassically the Patriot Act:SS Version - The extreme edition. Ichigo finds out something bad about SS(ala what Aizen and Urahara found out) and Ichigo gets offed, alongside with his family possibly.
I guess the current little part of what we know(since we don't know everything) boils down to the old debate of government versus freedom of speech. Should government monitor every and every action of its people, have full access to phone records, emails, internet usage, etc? Should government punish people for a word, way of thinking or knowledge?
We don't know the whole picture but from what we know, SS looks at Ichigo as a disposable tool and a threat. He is a convenient mega-weapon for them and it certainly shows with how he was practically used since the very end of SS arc.
