Breathe with Me - S3-E5

Stupidity: The SWAT team waits for Trent and Faith Mitchell to arrive before they break into the storage unit. They strongly suspect that Evelyn Mitchell is being held there. Why did they wait?

A Deadly State of Mind - S4-E6

Stupidity: Collier damages a post with his car as he leaves the driveway. His car would certainly have been damaged. The storyline is not long enough for Collier to have his car repaired. Columbo knows about the damaged post, but he never looks into how the damage occurred and never looks at Collier's car, which would have been incriminating.

Troubled Waters - S4-E4

Stupidity: After Danziger fires the revolver into the mattress, Columbo compares that slug with the murder slug. He puts them both on a narrow railing. It is noticeably windy, and ships often roll with waves. Columbo would not risk losing both pieces of evidence.

Two Hundred Dollars and a Bus Pass - S1-E8

Stupidity: Two police officers and a physician find an injured woman in a lab. The officers attend to the woman while the physician calls for EMTs. Wouldn't it be better if the physician looked after the injured person while the officers called for help?
