General questions

I've seen this countless times, most recently in the new "Hawkeye" series; someone wants to sneak into a building/crime scene that's on fire, or recently on fire, and firetrucks are on the scene. So the person will grab a fireman's jacket and helmet out of the truck as a disguise. Do firetrucks carry extra jackets and helmets? Or would someone take their gear off and put it in the truck for some reason? In the same vein do ambulances and hospitals have white lab coats lying around as well?

Answer: Often the driver of the truck doesn't wear turnout gear to the incident, and has his gear in the truck. It is also very common to have an extra set of gear in case someone's is contaminated or fails.

Knight Rider (1982)

Good Day at White Rock - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: After we first see the pack of bikers riding, it cuts to two guys on bikes. They're being towed on a platform of some sort because the never turn their handlebars or front wheel but still turn with the curves in the road.

Knight Rider (1982)

Deadly Maneuvers - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Michael starts to scrape the blue paint off the shell, he scratches across the blue band and you see a few scrape marks where the paint is gone and it's white, like the shell, underneath. In the close up, it's slowly scraping such a small potion of the paint off and you see it's yellow underneath now.

A Very Sunny Christmas - S6-E13

Continuity mistake: When Mac and Charlie are still on Ricky's porch after he's closed the door, Charlie's hands are empty. But in the wide shot when they're leaving, Charlie is now holding the robot, even though it's meant to be a continuous shot because there's no break in their conversation.

Gun Fever - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: In the waiting room of the hospital, you can see over the shoulder of the woman, and she's reading a magazine, but when the camera angle changes, she's holding a newspaper. It switches back to a magazine in other shots of her.
