"fines AND penalties", if ASRS excepts your report and you chose to exercise the immunity it grants, you will not have certificate action taken against you nor will you be fined. You can only use it once per certain amount of time , hoewever (either one or five years, I'm not sure). You can file as many reports as you want, but only can use it that certain number of times. That is why we have ASAP. You can use it as many times as you need.
