When he is photographed by Bowen and Gurney putting Henderson in the backseat of the patrol car, Malloy has his hat on. When Sgt. McDonald later shows Reed the newspaper article of the arrest, Malloy is not wearing his hat in the accompanying photo.
When Reed is writing the descriptions of the 211 suspects and their vehicle, the cuff of a long sleeve shirt is seen. Reed and Malloy are wearing short sleeve shirts at the time.
After the shooting, when Reed and Malloy are in the Sgt's office you can see an officer(s) walking in the hallway with his hat on. Hats are not worn inside the building in general.
When Bowen and Gurney leave the woman's home and start their Ford Mustang, the high, winding sound of a Chrysler starter can be heard, not a Ford's.
Bowen and Gurney are driving a red Mustang Mach 1, but the word "Mustang" is taped over on the back of their car.
When the two reporters first appear at the overdose scene, they take pictures using a flash in broad daylight.
Bowen and Gurneys insertion into crime and emergency response scenes could be chargeable under obstruction/interference of police duty. By attempting to obtain crowd approval ("What do you all think of that?"), incitement: "any action of provoking unlawful behavior or urging someone to behave unlawfully.".
When the three suspects are taken in custody toward the end, Reed frisks only one before turning his attention to the two men who have been following Malloy and Reed. One of the suspects not frisked then pulls a gun, fires, and kills a bystander. No mention of this act of omission by Reed is ever made.
