I see far more slippery slopes than slippery slope fallacies. It makes me want to reject these kinds of ideas from the get-go, because the pasts of our bureaucracies and representatives have given us really no good reason to believe every great new idea won't be expanded far beyond its scope sooner or later.

And when the expansion is justified by shocking statements ("stop terrorists and pedophiles, think of the children" type stuff) that's when people should stop and think. Because anyone trying to convince you by shocking you probably wants to hide something in that shock.

This is why I am for facial recognition ONLY on probable cause, and affirmed by a judge under a search warrant.

Cats out of the bag with facial recog. Might as well have strong legal documentation and judges on the line with this.
