Appeal to fear. Why is it you think that justification doesn't work for illegal search and seizure?
- andun 8y agoIf "someone might commit a crime and facial recognition could help find the perpetrator" is appeal to fear, the argument of "nobody ever commits a crime so why would you ever want the police to have facial recognition" is appeal to living in a fantasy world.
- sureaboutthis 8y agoIn the same way, not wanting to let the police have this technology due to concern of surveillance is appealing to fear. People forget that, in the USA at least, the police investigate and pursue crimes that have already been committed. They do NOT pursue crimes that have not happened and do NOT scan for people who have not committed a crime. As you all should know, license plate scanners, for example, are looking for specific plates of people who have already committed crimes.
