In what scenario might an officer be exempt from racial profiling reporting?

An officer would be exempt from racial profiling reporting when there was no law enforcement action taken during the interaction because reporting is typically required only when an officer engages in an enforcement action, such as a detention, arrest, or citation. The purpose of racial profiling reporting is to monitor and record instances where the police engage with individuals under enforcement circumstances, thereby ensuring accountability and transparency in law enforcement practices. If no action was taken, the situation does not meet the threshold that necessitates reporting, allowing officers to omit recording such an interaction from their racial profiling reports. Other scenarios, such as public outcry, personal feelings about the necessity of reporting, or whether the interaction was recorded, do not automatically exempt an officer from reporting if applicable legal or departmental standards require it.
