Factual error: Robert begins as a SGT in the NYPD (later promoted to LT). However, he has issued speeding tickets in his brother's/parent's neighborhood. The family Barone lives in Lynbrook NY. Lynbrook is part of Nassau County, Long Island, which is not part of NYC. Robert would have no jurisdiction to issue speeding tickets there.
Factual error: Robert, as a police officer in NY State, is bound by law to carry his weapon at all times. Robert is never seen with a firearm, not even when in uniform. A police officer would not have his sole sidearm strapped to his calf or ankle under his pant leg, making it hard to access in a situation where he would need to be able to draw it at a moment's notice.
Suggested correction: In season 2, episode 17, "The Ride Along," Robert is carrying what appears to be a Glock 17, holstered on his left side. It is one of only a couple of scenes where a handgun is on the show. The holstered pistol also appears in the Nemos Pizza scene when Robert tackled a would be robber.
