Thank you for saying that, because that's exactly my fear. It's the law of unintended consequences.
If people think they have immunity, but it turns out the police come, they end up not being charged with possession, they get their names run through the system, and they're charged with breach of probation, then could this have a boomerang effect the other way and cause, on the street, people not to call? They don't have the sophistication, necessarily, at the moment of overdose to weigh through, “Okay, what could I be charged with, and what can't I be charged with”.
Vermont has a law that has a broad suite of immunities. Would you not agree that we should amend this law right now in this committee to use the more broad Vermont standards that cover breach of probation and other drug-related offences if we're going to make a dent and take immediate action to deal with this crisis? Would that not be your recommendation to this committee?
