She made affected complaint
If someone say, "She made affected complaint", how would you read it?
I can understand it as "She made a complaint which is considered to be false by police", but I am not sure.

The word 'affected' does not really work here. Although it can mean 'fake or false' it is more about assuming a mannerism or acting in a certain way that doesn't come naturally to you. It isn't used as a straight substitution for fake or false.
