I believe that to be accurate, as well, nothing actually prevents a peace officer from using the device at the moment, but I think it would clear up a lot of the confusion around it. An officer right now may be hesitant to use the device if he doesn't necessarily know how it will play out in court, for example. I think by explicitly allowing peace officers to use it, we are standardizing the use of the device across all the jurisdictions, as well.
It clears up any confusion around the ability for this device or feature to be used.
