This is 'drunk-driving kills so we should ban vehicles' level thinking.

If you don't want fascists then vote/act against that. You can't avoid fascists by making it harder to catch criminals for non-fascists. Then you get "well at least the fascists keep crime rates down".

Maybe it's easier to just not give them the power in the first place?
