3 factual errors - chronological order

(6 votes)

Show generally

Factual error: In a real scenario, FBI agents or specially trained individuals will only use their flashlights when they need to check something or clear an area. They then turn the flashlights off to avoid revealing their position and to maintain situational awareness. Constantly using a flashlight can compromise their position by making them an easier target. However, in the show, their flashlights seem to be on all the time.

Partners in Crime - S1-E13

Factual error: The Saturn in the show is an Ion which stopped production in March of 2007. Therefore, it couldn't be a silver 2009 Saturn they were looking for.

Unreasonable Doubt - S3-E2

Factual error: The digital time zone clock on the wall in the FBI operation center is wrong. The show is set in NYC, which is Eastern Time. The clock shows EST at 16:44 and ZULU time (UTC / GMT) at 20:44. The difference between EST and ZULU time is 5 hours, so the clock should show ZULU time as 21:44. Plus, the times for the other time zones on the clock are wrong by an hour. (00:18:29)

Snag.1

Undisclosed - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: Agents follow the suspect after the shooting in an apartment. They chase him upstairs and out of the door but are still at street level.

Victim - S5-E4

Question: How was a police report filed for OA's mugging in the beginning of the show? OA wanted nothing to do with the police or to be seen as a victim. He ran away from the scene when he learned a passerby called 911.
