Apparently in 1999, California amended the laws to remove liability from Good Samaritans who performed assistance in good faith.

Read it again.

My reading of that specifically says that you must be trained in whatever life saving process you use. It even spells out how you are to be trained and how the equipment is to be maintained.

This does not protect just anyone who stops in good faith to help.

Again, I am not here to argue. Any decent, responsible human being would have stopped at at least waited for the police to get there.
