Goofs

Pete and several cops in the film are wearing pistol skill medals on the wrong pocket flaps of their uniforms. Actual LAPD officers wear the medals on the left pocket flap below their badges. Pete's is on the right pocket, next to his nameplate.

The seal on a police car implies that the LAPD was founded in 1781, the better part of 100 years before the Union took possession of California.

The 1781 refers to the founding of the city of Los Angeles. The U.S. took possession of California in 1848, and it became a State in 1850. It isn't clear what the "100 years" refers to.

At 00:27:14, the cop tells Michael, who is riding in the back of the cop car as a ride-along, to come on up to the front seat. Michael proceeds to open the back door from the inside. The back door of a police vehicle can't be opened from the inside, so that persons under arrest can't escape.

When Michael is speeding home in his lawyer's car, a motorcycle cop starts chasing him, and follows him all the way home. So why didn't he pursue him straight into the house? Presumably, the lawyer must have explained what was going on, but it took an unrealistically long time for the cops to show up.

Given all the noise, screams, alarms, and gunshots, the street should be full of neighbors wondering what was going on, but it's deserted when Karen opens the door and sinks down on the porch, and remains so until the cops get there.

In an example of a Contrived Convience, the alarm password to Micheal and Karen's home should have been changed immediately after it's discovered that Pete is psychologically impaired. it should not have been left the same, thereby allowing Pete to stalk, enter, and plant drugs in the home and frame Micheal..
