MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: When the team enters the vigilante's apartment, they observe boxes of case files, identified by the name of the case. Several boxes are marked "N.Y.C. v. 'Name'." Since it's unlikely the vigilante would be hunting jaywalkers or persons who were accused of other similarly-trivial offenses, the city would not be the prosecutor in any of the cases; the state would be.
CONT: As Gideon is preparing to enter the building and confront the unsub, he puts on his bulletproof vest and starts toward the building. The camera changes angles and we see him briefly pass by with his vest in his hand. Then a third shot shows him putting on his vest again.
