Pretty hard to mistake a Mercedes AMG GT53 for a Dodge Charger.

They didn't.  They saw plates that had been stolen from a Dodge Charger mounted on a Mercedes AMG GT53.

Right, the headline is misleading because the officer used common sense to realize there was a mistake.

Fox's local stations are nothing like Fox News.

Depends on the market. OKC's Fox station is owned by Sinclair, so while the newscast content doesn't originate from Fox News, it may as well.
