Disturbing Behavior picture

Visible crew/equipment: When the police officer asks Steve and Rachel "where are your books?" a car approaches and the film cuts to a shot of the officer standing outside Steve's car. Look at the top centre of the screen, just above the roof of the car, and you can see part of the fluffy head of a boom microphone. It's quite quick, but very noticeable. (01:02:05)
