Factual error: When tracing the "Master Baiter" the detective says she can't trace the subject because "the HTML code is scrambled". There is no such thing as scrambled HTML, and on top of that HTML can never give away any information about a subject's location. Also, she can't get his IP address because it constantly changes. Yet, she does know from what exact wifi-spot he connected. If you get random IP-addresses, for instance by using random proxy servers, you can't pinpoint a location (which was of course why he used this technique).

Factual error: Whenever someone uses an iPhone (which is the phone of choice on CSI:NY), the screen stays lit when talking on the phone. The iPhone has a sensor which dims the screen when you put it to your ear, but only if you're actually making a call.

Factual error: In the movie the poles which houses are built on are situated in the water; one could swim between the poles. That's totally impossible: the poles are drilled in very wet sand (to be compared to a swamp) and you can't reach them from the canals in any way.

Factual error: In the "Berlin intro" with all the German images, a plate can be seen with the text "automatische afsluiting" (automatic closure), which is not German but Dutch. (00:43:45)

Factual error: Amsterdam doesn't resemble the "real" Amsterdam at all, including the infamous Red Light District. When walking alongside the highway, it's clear that it's not a Dutch highway. The supposedly Dutch characters speak with an Eastern European accent, because the "Dutch" scenes were shot in Prague, the Czech Republic.

Factual error: The lights and siren of a police car don't go on when starting the engine. They are turned on and off separately from the engine.
