Yes, you're simply wrong. Government agencies do not have a blanket exemption from GDPR rules. There are some difference, and EU countries have some autonomy in the particulars. But as a general principle, the rules are the same: data may only be stored to fulfil a valid purpose, processing and transmission require consent, etc.
Fines don't make any sense in that regard because the government is never fined: first, because it wouldn't make much sense, as fines are payable to that very government anyway. But also because government officials are simply expected to respect court verdicts without the neccessity of fines.
If you don't trust that system you're out of luck, because it's how every single other protection you have against the government is and has been enforced since the inception of "the rule of law".
