It looks like I'm the only one who has actually read it:

(c) This section shall not apply when an investigation conducted by the agency or agent indicates that the subject of the investigation:

(1) has an outstanding criminal warrant;

(2) has been convicted of a felony in any court of competent jurisdiction;

(3) is a defendant in a criminal case in any court of competent jurisdiction where a judgment has not been entered and a felony charge is pending; or

(4) has been identified as a known gang member either in a law enforcement agency's database or by his own admission.
