I'm not claiming a slippery slope. They already are scanning all emails, we know this for certain.

And as for "What if they're mistaken?" There's a fair amount of fallout from simply being accused of a crime. Between arrest, jail-time waiting for arraignment, bail, legal fees, news coverage which will forever attach your name to whatever it was...etc. The question squarely is "What if they're wrong?"

You are claiming slippery slope. They've reported child porn cases, and you are worrying about the possibility they could begin reporting tax fraud and other more minor crimes.
