Um, thank you for taking the time on this particular amendment. It's been identified that this is the crux of things. I think there are several elements to this that are really important, um, beyond this particular element, but I've expressed that as any— at any level that I can, I want additional protections for the public while, as best as we can, not hampering the tools that our police need. And, and I don't see that the case has been made that this is a hamper as an amendment. I think this is, uh, aggressive in terms of protections, and, um, and I think the data will demonstrate whether or not that the outcomes are impacted.
