Notice that someone was wearing shorts and short sleve shirt. It's not that warm in January, especially in North Carolina

They probably filmed the re-enactment in summer or fall. There are some re-enactments where you can tell they filmed it in a different season that the incident happened. "Toppled Trans Am", "911 Knoxville Intruder", and "Cop Saves Dog" are a few examples.

What was Toppled Trans am season?

[allgood2000]

Toppled Trans AM took place in July, but you can tell it was filmed in winter.
