Yeah. Even innocuous things like having a hole in the wall changes the line of inquiry from whatever crime is being investigated to a domestic violence or child protective services intervention on your account...all because you wanted to help.
It would be in the best interest of law enforcement to grant by default some amount of immunity to witnesses in order to encourage their cooperation.
Nobody should be punished by the justice system for cooperating-- witnesses already risk retribution from whoever they're willing to make a statement against.
