You could invoke "slippery slope" for basically anything, in any argument. And it's not always right. That kind of momentum argument didn't make invading Vietnam a good move in the 60's, for one.

One of my main ways of making a point is to use extreme examples. So cameras to catch speeders are ok with you and personal hover sattelites to catch all crimes are not, fair to say somewhere inbetween is also not ok with you?
I have already reached my 'not ok' point.

Reductio ad absurdum doesn't always make a point, it can also obscure them. And yes, I think any of us here have a "not ok" point. Some cameras that target real speeders (not this 5 over stuff) don't exceed my "not ok" point.
