Character mistake: When Derek and Rossi are in the morgue, you can see the "corpse" swallowing just before the scene changes.
Protection - S10-E22
Continuity mistake: In the final stand off, Daniel fires 16 rounds through the door/wall at the team. We've already been told his gun only holds 14 bullets. Not to mention without reloading he fires a few more bullets shortly afterwards.
Audio problem: When Garcia is talking about the cross-examination she's done and how she should be praised for how quickly she'd done it, she crosses the room away from the computers (and the webcam she's shown through) to a bulletin board. While she's walking away, her voice gets fainter, and then becomes louder again when she returns, as though she were getting further and then closer again to a microphone. However, she is wearing a headset with a microphone - the volume wouldn't have changed. (00:13:15)
Continuity mistake: The clock on the bomb's secondary timer doesn't match with reality while Prentiss is trying to defuse it - going from 15 seconds to 10 too slowly, then skipping the final few seconds so it can end on 1 second remaining.
Factual error: The flashback shown is from 1978, when Virginia license plates had six characters, however the license plate shown on the car is the current version with seven characters. (00:37:00)
Factual error: While JJ and Will might have exchanged "commitment vows" with a willing officiant, they could not have actually married in the time frame given for multiple reasons. The bank robbery occurred on a Saturday and the proposal was that evening at the hospital, with a stated intention to go down to the court Monday to wed. Instead, Rossi and Will set it up for the next evening, which was Sunday. The following is taken from Washington, D.C.'s marriage information site: 1) the court offices that issue licenses are only open M-F; 2) there is a mandated three day waiting period between obtaining the license and performing the ceremony; 3) there is a ten advance notice required to arrange a civil ceremony through the court office. Therefore, the earliest they could be legally wed would be on Thursday with a license and a private ceremony, while a civil ceremony would actually have taken an additional week. As for JJ's "lets get married tonight", I can't see any hospital chaplain obliging.
Final Shot - S9-E3
Revealing mistake: As Reid explains human reaction time, near the end of it you can see a brunette woman get hit and fall to the ground, she hits ground with the back of her head and then, while supposedly been shot dead, moves her right hand in under her head.
Protection - S10-E22
Continuity mistake: The vigilante is on the couch drinking vodka. First shot it's in his right hand then the next shot it's in his left.
Factual error: In the episode, the case is handled locally by the Wilmington Police Department. In reality, Wilmington Police only operate within city limits. Based on the suburban locations pictured, this case would more likely be handled by Delaware State Police or New Castle County Police.
Magnum Opus - S8-E13
Character mistake: At the end the murderer says Van Gogh only sold two paintings before he died. Van Gogh only had one of his paintings sell before he died.
Magnum Opus - S8-E13
Continuity mistake: In the scene where you first watch the killer drain a victim's blood, the upper part of the glass jar is coated with blood, but when he puts it in the fridge this part of the jar is clear. On the other hand some of the jars in the fridge are still fully coated with blood, which shouldn't be as the blood had the time to gather at the bottom. (00:07:15)
Deliberate mistake: When talking to Sarah Jean's mum, the bottle of Smirnoff vodka is missing the 'S'. (00:09:35)
Conspiracy vs. Theory - S17-E5
Plot hole: In order to deactivate the bomb vest, Penelope blocks all cell service in that area. But she reacts positively to the disabling of the bomb back in headquarters, and she keeps talking with the team without restoring cell service.
Other mistake: The age of the deceased Raymond Leu (35) shown in a death certificate doesn't match up based on year of birth (1948) and year of death (2014).
Other mistake: In the opening scene, the UnSub is wearing breathing apparatus, however his smoke hood is under his face mask. Wearing the hood under the mask would make it impossible to get a face seal, and as such would let smoke into the mask.
Character mistake: Unsub calls his victim Marcy, her real name, as opposed to Rose who he believes she is.
Factual error: They were talking about serial killers having kids on the plane at the end. Hotel said, Manson had 10 or 11 children. Charles Manson only had 3 sons.
Other mistake: Evergreen State University in Olympia Washington should be The Evergreen State College (they aren't a university). The transcript for Evergreen (assuming they meant the real college) is also wrong in every way: -They said the guy Ivan was expelled, but the transcript lists a B.A. awarded in June of 1968? - Evergreen has always used a narrative evaluation so there are no grades. There shouldn't be numbers or averages. -There are no majors - you get a B.A. or a B.S. -They don't have classic course names like "Philosophy 101" or "History." -The school was founded in 1967 - he couldn't have taken those classes that are listed from 1964 - 1967. (00:18:50)
Revealing mistake: When Morgan is typing "Cult named Forever People," his phone is typing it automatically. His fingers aren't even tapping the correct letters. (00:19:45)
Chosen answer: Black SUVs are common police, military and dignitary vehicles around the world. It is not too much to assume they could be rented or owned by the police forces in the areas.

Other people have explained it but fore more information, federal cars would most likely be brought to the airport from the nearest agency, so they can drive out to their locations especially in rural situations.
