Question Answered step-by-step 1. The proposal is to put police video cameras in public places to… 1. The proposal is to put police video cameras in public places to record video tapes used for crime detection, which will be destroyed after a few weeks if not needed. This is not such a dreadful intrusion on our privacy, but it might very well be supplemented by facial-recognition software and then be used to create permanent archives of all of our comings and goings, and this would be such an intrusion. So we shouldn’t allow those cameras now.  What kind of argument is this? Either a post hoc fallacy, a common cause fallacy, a slippery slope fallacy, an appeal to authority, or an appeal to anecdotal evidence. Explain any weaknesses due to inadequacy in this argument.  Psychology Social Science Social Psychology PHL 320U Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
