CREW: When Leon is introduced, he is walking past several stores and the camera and crew are reflected in the windows as he walks past.
FACT: In this first episode of the show, the judge refers to a recommendation by the State Attorney's Office. However, after the first episode, the characters frequently refer to the "Assistant D.A." or "District Attorney," which is incorrect. In Florida, prosecutors are referred to as Assistant State Attorneys.
CREW: You can see someone wearing a white short sleeve shirt in the mirror when Crockett and Tubbs are searching the ransacked apartment.
CONT: When Crockett and Rivera are riding in Corky Fowler's car the background changes between freeway and business area as it cuts from character to character.
