No, not really. This is more like if you're dying and someone gives you CPR but didn't pay $20 to renew their CPR certification, the CPR certification board goes after them for "practicing lifesaving without a license".

In other words, utter fucking bullshit.

You're right, this is why we have "Good Samaritan" laws to protect people who are trying to help people in an emergency.

That said, it's definitely not a bad idea to keep your CPR training up to date. Mine was renewed last December.

You say "No, not really", but I think you are in full agreement with your parent, who also sketched an instance of something ridiculous.
