Jaws (1975)

Factual error: Chief Brody is wearing his badge on the wrong side of his chest in every scene. That must have been deliberate for reasons only known to cast and/or crew. A sworn Peace Officer always wears his badge on the left side of his chest, symbolizing that it is over his heart. (00:18:25)

Suggested correction: In the United States, badges are prominently worn over the left chest. However, there are no universal federal laws governing the precise placement for every single agency. Officers in different roles or attire may have variations.
