CSI: Miami

Show generally

Corrected entry: In Episode "Broken Home," Natalie and Ryan ask Dave Montavo if they can have a DNA sample. They would have already had his DNA from when they did the blood alcohol level test to check why they passed out in the car.

Boobra

Correction: By law, they still would have to get his permission to use his blood for DNA since the blood was taken for a blood alcohol level.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In episode Broken Home, the drinking glasses collected from the party home after the caterer picked them up still have alcohol in the bottom. The liquid would have dried overnight if it wasn't spilled out by the caterer collecting the glasses. No one would transport glassess full of liquid.

Boobra

Correction: The liquid in the glasses is the sterile water used in the lab. Residue would still be on the glasses and Boa Vista would have used sterile water to be able to test for drugs etc.

Show generally

Corrected entry: Although the show takes place in Miami, very little of it is actually filmed here, most in done at Manhattan Beach, a suburb of Los Angeles in California. This is most evident when they have a beach scene. The large waves that you see on the beach are from the Pacific ocean. The waves in Miami are very small and nowhere near as large.

Correction: Actully I have been near Miami beach where alot of surfers like to ride these kinda waves, the further you go out the bigger they can get, and on some days like days with alot of wind they can reach "California" scale waves.

Show generally

Factual error: Calleigh Duquesne frequently wears completely inappropriate clothing throughout the whole series. She often wears blouses that are so low cut that the neckline is below the lower curve of her breasts. No officer of the court in the US would be allowed to dress this way. There is no grey area here, and this is not a character mistake - first time a CSI turned up at work dressed like that, she'd be sent home to change. Second time, she'd be on suspension until she agreed to change her dress standards. Also (and this regularly happens in CSI: NY as well) she is regularly wearing high heels - also a certain no-no for as CSI. Incidentally, male CSIs have equally strict dress standards.

Answer: Earlier in the episode, Horatio tells Mac that Penrod was seen in Tribeca getting his leg set, only to bolt when he learned a nurse wised up the cops. Caine and the NYPD probably got Penrod's address from the hospital.
