When might local or state reporting requirements limit the possibility of restricted reporting?

Local or state reporting requirements often prioritize the safety and protection of vulnerable populations, which includes minors. When a victim is underage, legal obligations frequently require that certain authorities, such as law enforcement or child protective services, are notified regardless of the victim's wishes. This is done to ensure the youth's safety and to provide them with necessary support and intervention.

In contrast, the other options do not align with the legal frameworks regarding reporting requirements as strictly as the case with minors. For instance, an incident being captured on video does not inherently trigger mandatory reporting obligations, and if a victim indicates they do not want to report, that choice may still be respected depending on the circumstances. Furthermore, the time of day does not generally affect reporting obligations; they are typically determined by the nature of the incident and the individual's age rather than specific time restrictions.
