But I still think the bill that is before us today makes a lot of sense. It's going to help law enforcement. They're asking for it. I certainly think that HR3269, if you look at it, this is state of the art less than lethal technology that's currently available. and that's why law enforcement is asking for it. There are situations in some states which I mentioned earlier where without this bill it still ties the hands of law enforcement when it comes to liability. (03:32–03:44)
