Log 1: The Impossible Mission - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: Halfway through the episode, they are chasing car thieves in a drainage channel. The thief's car comes to the end of the road and crashes into a deeper gully. You can see that the windshield has been taken out of the car, although it was previously there. They cut away and when they come back, parts of the windshield are back in the car, but the whole center is missing.

Log 132: Producer - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, an officer is yelling at Reid for trying to give him a dog. There's a gun belt hanging on the locker next to Reid, Malloy comes in and it's still there. Next angle, it's gone.

Jim Reed: You just have to know how to arrest them and still make them like you. We call it technique.

More quotes from Adam-12

Answer: You probably need to be more specific about which car or episode you're talking about, but if I had to guess, it sounds like you're talking about "curb feelers." Most people have to park on the right side of the road (passenger side), so the wires or springs would make a noise when they hit the curb, letting the driver know they're close enough to the curb without hitting the tire against the curb.

S5 Ep5 "Training Wheels": Adam 12 stops a VW van. Their Matador car has a curb feeler on the left front of the car.

Correction: That's the right-hand side of the car.
