Other mistake: This is a small error with the UK release of the film. For reasons that Disney have not disclosed, the film was renamed to "Zootropolis" and has had almost every mention of the word "Zootopia" both vocally and visually changed. However, just before Judy is interviewed you see the camera pan over the reporters and Chief Bogo. If you look on the floor it says "pia" as in "Zootopia." It is clear that this texture was not changed to say "Zootropolis" due to its placement, as it would have involved rendering the whole scene again just for this word change.

Continuity mistake: When the landlady shows Judy to her "luxury apartment" note the position of the vertical deadbolt lock affixed to the front door and jamb, but the next morning when Judy leaves for the ZPD, as she unlocks the door the deadbolt lock has moved higher up on the door and jamb (note wallpaper). Additionally, just as Judy opens the door we can see that although the interior deadbolt is affixed higher, its key cylinder on the exterior side is much lower, which makes no sense, but then the deadbolt is back to normal.
Chief Bogo: Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid dreams magically come true. So let it go.
Trivia: As Judy scrolls through her portable music player on the train, all of the band names are animal puns. It includes "Fleetwood Yak" (Fleetwood Mac) and "Hyena Gomez" (Selena Gomez). Also on the list are "Ewe 2" (U2), "Guns N' Rodents" (Guns 'N' Roses), "Kanine West" (Kanye West), and "Mick Jaguar" (Mick Jagger).
Question: When Judy starts her mission to find Mr. Otterton and finds Nick with his partner, Finnick, she manages to hustle the fox, get him to confess his crimes on a voice recorder, and forces him to assist her on her mission before she decides to arrest him. Finnick laughs at Nick's humiliation and walks away. Why does Judy let Finnick off the hook despite the fact he was involved in Nick's scams?
Chosen answer: Finnick didn't say anything that could be used against him and she had no proof that he was delinquent on his taxes, as he said, "She hustled you good!"
Finnick was involved in all of Nick's scams so shouldn't he have been charged as an accessory and therefore also forced to help Judy?
Nick's crime was not paying taxes. Judy had no evidence that Finnick was guilty in any tax evasion or that he even participated in earlier scams.
Judy witnessed Nick and Finnick involved in a scam involving popsicle sticks that he and Finnick used to create pawpsicles and sell them to lemmings. They also sold the popsicle sticks to mice for construction. The scam involved melting down a Jumbo-pop to make smaller pawpsicles and then reselling them.
Which, as Nick explained, was perfectly legal. Also, Judy had no desire to arrest Nick, only to force him to help her. His partner was of no use to her, so she let him go.
