  • if the officer perceived the person to be LGBTQ+
  • if the officer perceived the person as having limited or no English fluency
  • if the officer perceived the person as having a disability

• actions taken by the officer during the stop
• basis for any search and if property was seized
• if any contraband or evidence was discovered
