In Season 3, Tara became pregnant with Thomas when Abel was 8 or 9 months old, which means Abel must have been about 18 months old when Thomas was born. Thomas barely ages throughout the rest of the show, while Abel keeps growing. At the end of Season 7 Abel is 5, and Thomas is still just a baby of maybe a year old. By that time, Thomas had to be 3 at the very least.

Throughout the series, several officers of the San Joaquin Sheriffs Office are referred to as "Sheriffs" by criminal justice personnel and others throughout the series.

When Lt Roosevelt and Lt Jarry refer to themselves as "Sheriff", it is an obvious mistake.

The show is set in a fictional San Joaquin County city, but all the Teller-Morrow Automotive tow trucks have a 925 area code. None of San Joaquin County is covered by the 925 area code, its neighbor Contra Costa County is.
