Other mistake: When waiting at Lake Trout to ambush Marlo, the Barksdale crew are in the same car that Marlon was driving round earlier in the series (same number plate: 107M703) It is visible as they (Avon and his crew) drive away from the scene after Chris has shot into the car. (00:51:02)

In order to see what is happening on a specific computer in real time, it is necessary to install some sort of spyware on The Target machine.
