Mr. Monk Goes to a Rock Concert - S5-E8
Continuity mistake: There are two mistakes when Natalie runs up to Monk after he leaves the port-a-potty. First, notice that when Monk is replying to Natalie's first question, her thumb is sticking out, but it isn't when the shot cuts to a front shot of Natalie. Secondly, as Natalie is leading Monk away, her purse has gone from being over her shoulder to being over her elbow, and back when Monk and Natalie turn to see Stork's body fall out of the port-a-potty. (00:11:45 - 00:12:20)
Mr. Monk and the Really, Really Dead Guy - S5-E15
Factual error: Monk typing the address into his laptop would not affect the trace the agents are doing, it definitely wouldn't pop up on the agent's screen as the result of the trace.
Mr. Monk and the Really, Really Dead Guy - S5-E15
Plot hole: In this episode, Monk doesn't know to open a cell phone to answer it, but in "Mr. Monk and the Kid", he used a cell phone with the ransom drop with no problems. (00:04:25 - 00:05:05)
Mr. Monk Meets His Dad - S5-E9
Factual error: The runaway truck ramp has no advance signage (e.g. Runaway Truck Ramp Ahead 1/2 Mile) as real runaway truck ramps do. It has no loose sand to slow down the truck's wheels. And it doesn't point uphill as a real ramp would.
Mr. Monk Is At Your Service - S5-E12
Continuity mistake: When Monk is inspecting the table ahead of the luncheon, he reaches out to straighten a crystal on the chandelier. The shot cuts to two people in the corner of the room, and the woman in this shot puts her hand on her forehead. At the right edge of the shot, you can see Monk in front of them straightening a plate on the table; however, he was inspecting the chandelier from the side of the table opposite these two individuals. (00:18:25)

Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion - S5-E6

Mr. Monk Goes to the Hospital - S5-E16
Continuity mistake: When the police are told room 623 is the geriatric ward, Stottlemeyer is holding the seal with the glove up in his right hand when Randy leaves. But in the next shot, his hand is down and you don't see the glove.
Mr. Monk Goes to a Rock Concert - S5-E8
Other mistake: At the end, when they're putting Kris in the cop car, you can see the car numbers don't match. On the door it's listed as car number "664", but on the roof it's is number "32" something.
Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion - S5-E6
Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when the woman comes out of the room, you can see the rug in the hallway. But in the next shot, there's two plastic runners over the rug. It alternates from being there to not depending on the camera angle.
Mr. Monk and the Actor - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: When Ruskin and Monk are tussling with each other, the gun falls onto the wipers, with the barrel touching the wiper and handle up. The next time we see the gun, the handle is down and touching the wiper. It keeps flipping back and forth in various shots.

Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion - S5-E6
Continuity mistake: During the touch football game, when Natalie first throws the ball to Monk, he catches it and a guy in a blue T-shirt and jeans is running up behind him. Angle switches as Monk twists out of the way, and it's a different guy wearing black shorts instead. A few cuts later and Monk runs past the same guy in black shorts again.
Mr. Monk Makes A Friend - S5-E11
Character mistake: At the crime scene, the #8 evidence marker is in the bathroom. When Monk and the Captain are examining the body, a #8 evidence marker is seen on the lamp. They wouldn't use a number more than once at a crime scene.
Answer: Stottlemeyer was already upset after the phone call. He was trying to get "Kevin" (who would have to be a judge, but no further character information is given) to issue a restraining order with no evidence of needing one, except that Adrian Monk said she needs one. Kevin said he would need to "sleep on it." So it's clear they've been trying to provide protection and unable to get the results they need, which seems to be based on no one trusting Monk the way Stottlemeyer does. He's just angry that they failed to protect Linda despite all their work. Although it does feel like a scene was cut, or altered, from the show that shows the futile attempts to protect Linda which built up to his outrage.
