Corrected entry: When the police officer is arresting the shoplifter at the beginning of the episode, he does not read him his Miranda rights. (00:04:20)

Correction: Officers don't have to read a suspect's Miranda rights at the moment they say "you're under arrest." A suspect's rights only need to be read before questioning. However, the only consequence of rights not being read is that what the suspect says after being arrested can't be used as evidence in court.

Corrected entry: Jimmy mentions a teenager getting a discount at the Stop and Shop, but Stop and Shop is a grocery store chain that only exists in the Northeastern US. Jimmy has only ever lived in Illinois and New Mexico, so he is unlikely to know the chain exists, let alone use it in a passing example like this. Plus, this conversation is taking place with someone who also lives in Albuquerque, so his mentioning this makes no sense. (00:11:10)
Correction: While Stop and Shop is a Northeastern grocery chain, "Stop-N-Shop" (or other variations of the spelling) is a ubiquitous name for some stores, especially for convenience stores. There's one that closed down near me, and there's some in NM and IL. It should also be noted Jimmy says "five-finger discount", meaning stealing. So it's clear to Caldera what Jimmy is trying to say.
Very good point, thank you for adding that! Stop and Shop groceries might want to pick a more unique name, and be on the lookout for shoplifters.

Corrected entry: At the very end when Mike's daughter drives up alongside his car, the registration shows 06/12. Even if this is the expiration, which I assume, that date doesn't coincide with the premise of occurring 6 years prior to Breaking Bad. (00:41:10)
Correction: There are two stickers, the top one has the date 02/12 and the second has the date 02/6. However, in both sticker, the first number, "02" is the year. 12 and 6 are the months. There is never an 06/12 dated sticker.

Correction: It's a common myth (propagated by TV shows) that you have to be read your rights while being arrested. This is not true, and in many cases would not be convenient. It could actually put a police officer's life in danger to pause mid-arrest to read out your rights. You simply have to have your rights explained to you prior to being interrogated, because that is the point at which the right to remain silent and to have a lawyer present actually matters.
