Robert, as a peace officer in NY State, is bound by law to carry his weapon at all times. Robert is never seen with a firearm, not even when in uniform. [It could be possible that he is wearing a firearm, but it is concealed so the audience can't see it. A good place for it would be underneath his pant leg, on his calf or ankle.]
Edit
Robert begins as a SGT in the NYPD (later promoted to LT). However, he has issued speeding tickets in his brother's/parent's neighborhood. The family Barone lives in Lynbrook NY. Lynbrook is part of Nassau County, which is not part of NYC. Robert would have no jurisdiction to issue speeding tickets there. [The Barones live in Long Island. In the first season Ray begins by say ing, "Hi My name is Ray. I live here with my family in Long Island."]
Edit
The large spoon and fork in Frank and Marie's kitchen change positions, right to left, and up and down. In some episodes the fork is on the right, and in others it is on the left. In other episodes, the fork is higher or lower than the spoon. At other times, the spoon and fork seem to be larger than at other times. [It is revealed in one of the later episodes that Marie and Frank have an unspoken feud about the positioning of these utensils - one moves the spoon higher, the other moves the fork. It was either in the same episode as the suitcase that never moves, or Roberts 'chin touch' reveal.]
Edit
In the episode when Ray gets Debra To kill a Mockingbird, Frank says "I killed a bird once." But in the thanksgiving episode Frank gets mad when Amy's parents kill the bird and says he would never kill an innocent creature. [There isn't enough context to judge Frank's comment that he "killed a bird once". Maybe it was a game bird (for eating) or maybe it wasn't an "innocent creature" (e.g., it was injured and Frank euthanized it, etc.). The two comments are separate and aren't conceptualized enough to make this a mistake.]

Turkey or Fish (series 1)

Retrieving the fish, Ray whips open the door to a still-running dishwasher. Dishwashers won't run until a locking latch is in place, so he should not have been able to do that. Some dishwashers have push lever latches, like some cars have squeeze lever handles. [My late-model dishwasher can be opened during a wash cycle. It has a pinch-type mechanism at the top and the agitator will still be turning and water still dripping when it is opened during the cycle. So this is not an impossibility and not a mistake.]

Win, Lose or Draw (series 1)

Raymond is invited, by his father, to a friendly poker game. The dealer calls the game, "Seven card, no peeking," then deals the cards. The first thing Raymond does is pick up his cards and look at them. This should have required him to match the pot and sacrifice his hand. [As you noted, it's friendly poker game. They obviously chose to cut him some slack since he was new and it was the very first hand dealt.]

The Garage Sale (series 2)

While Debra and Marie are outside of the Garage Sale the wind is blowing quite strongly and blows Debra's hair all over the place in a big way. However, Marie's hair does not move at all, not even as a total unit, say if she had on a lot of hairspray or had been permed. The significant amount of wind would have caused some movement, no question. This suggests the fan was only pointed or primarily pointed in the direction of Debra. [Marie's hairstyle is attained by using a pic to lift and shape it and then sprayings lots and lots and lots of hairspray to hold it. That hair does not move - ever. It only gets smooshed when you sleep on it. My mother's hair was the same way. Breezy days don't affect it.]

The Checkbook (series 2)

When Ray cuts in front of a woman at the ATM, she runs to get a cop. She comes back with Robert. The problem is, Robert is a New York City cop, and Ray lives in Nassau County, which is not in New York City. Robert has no jurisdiction, and would not be patrolling in Nassau County. [As stated elsewhere, the Barones live in Long Island. In the first episode, Ray indicates he lives with his family in Long Island, NY. That being the case, Robert would have jurisdiction.]

The Children's Book (series 2)

In season 2, episode 7, Ray has a fax machine installed with the computer. In this episode, the fax machine is gone. [So he removed the fax machine, which could be for any number of reasons, especially since the machine is gone in a subsequent (rather than prior) episode?]
Edit Corrected by MovieFan612
When Ray says he needs to squeeze the little man 12 times to get the juices flowing, he actually squeezes it 16 times. [This would only be a mistake if he squeezed it less than 12 times. Doing it more is just "extra".]

All of series 2 (series 2)

During the opening sequence for Season 2, all the floating people have shadows visible on the house. When Robert walks by the house, he doesn't cast a shadow on the house but he does on Raymond, therefore the floating people and the house behind them are products of green screen filming. [No.... only Robert walks in front of Raymond -- all the others go past behind him. Their shadows would be further back (i.e., onto the house), where Robert's would be only as far as Raymond (even taking into account his height).]

Driving Frank (series 3)

In the beginning of the episode, when Robert and Frank are at Ray's house, one camera shot shows Robert and the back window behind him. In the window, you can easily see a crew member standing there, looking into the window. [That's not a crew member. That is Raymond's face reflecting off of the window.]
