Sex, Lies, And Silicone - S5-E4
Continuity mistake: After Hawkes pats his old friend on the shoulder with the newspaper in front of the hotdog stall, there is a brief shot in which Hawkes is empty handed. In the next shot he's holding the newspaper again.
Continuity mistake: An assistant shows Craig T Nelson and Gary Sinise a mockup of a New York Ledger news page, with a photo of an NYPD officer and a headline that reads: line 1 - "NY's", line 2 - "Finest take", line 3 - "A break". When Sinise takes the photo and puts it on the desk a few seconds later, the text layout is on 2 lines instead of 3. (00:22:45)
Continuity mistake: Season 5, episode 15 ("The Party's Over). After Mac talks to Dunbrook in the park, the latter walks away with a cup of coffee in his right hand. When the shot changes, his cup is instantly gone.
Green Piece - S5-E17
Continuity mistake: When Danny asks Lindsay if she is excited to go back to Montana, Lindsay replies she is excited to see her mom so her mom can see her pregnant, but it is revealed in later seasons that her mother died when she was young and that she only has a dad.
Suggested correction: Theoretically correct, but it can be argued that the only evidence present is the bullet (which has DNA and prints burnt off when fired) and the body (which can only be handled by the MEs) gloves are not required.

What utter rubbish. No CSI would enter a crime scene without first putting on latex gloves - it is a carved-in-stone rule.
Exactly. Since Mac, Stella and Danny were processing a crime scene, they would need to wear gloves because without them, they would have contaminated a crime scene by not only getting their fingerprints over everything but, if one of them got a cut or scrape, their DNA would also be thrown into the mix and any defense attorney can call them out on their carelessness and have any evidence thrown out.
