A complaint is an accusation. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. The deputies' dialogue in the video is made up. The deputies' radar gun at the roadside is a simplification; the complaint says the reading was taken from a patrol car. The crow has no subtitled line because the complaint does not quote him directly.
