S.W.A.T. (2003)

Deliberate mistake: A lot of the supposed handheld footage from bystanders on the scene couldn't have been filmed as such. People are on the ground, but the handheld footage is close to the action, as if the bystander is right there next to the action. This is a common mistake in a lot of movies.
