allegedly driving with faulty taillights
I note that this is written where the only action "alleged" is driving with the faulty tail lights.
Everything the cops did was written as fact.
Not justifying anything - just seems to be a "little" bias in the story.

That’s not bias. If the paper had said, “driving with faulty tail lights” and this wasn’t proven in court, the family could potentially sue for libel. If he wasn’t convicted, it’s *alleged*, and that is correct in a legal system that supposedly presumes innocence, even for minor traffic violations.
