Stupidity: It's very idiotic that Michael and Karen kept the same security password, even after being harassed and not feeling comfortable with Pete being around them any longer. There's no way the pyramid password should have been kept the same, with Pete being able to enter their home, plant drugs, and frame Michael. Changing your security password, the same password that the lunatic cop once knew, would be the first thing to do after his psycho behavior starts.
Unlawful Entry (1992)
1 stupidity
Directed by: Jonathan Kaplan
Starring: Kurt Russell, Ray Liotta, Madeleine Stowe, Roger E. Mosley
Continuity mistake: When Ray Liotta is threatening the burglar, a door on the left side of the screen is closed. In the shot when Liotta says "he wants to kick your ass!", the door is wide open.
Michael Carr: What's it going to take to convince you? Me in a body bag?
Question: Why did Pete keep insisting that Michael beat up the burglar, instead of listening to him and simply hauling him away? Surely he would have still got on Michael's good side just to take him in, so why not just do want Michael wants, rather than complicate matters, which leads to Michael cutting ties off with Pete for good?

Answer: Pete was a psychopath and a murderer who did not think or act in a logical, reasonable, or restrained manner. He had become so enamored of Michael and Karen and their affluent lifestyle, that he went to extreme and dangerous lengths to ingratiate himself with them. He was not at all rational.

And also, his years of being a patrol cop and seeing the brutality of society on different calls may have made him snap. I mean, look how heartless he was-he throws a naked woman out into the street in a dark alley and leaves her there after having sex with her in his patrol unit, no regards for anything or anyone at all.
