Corrected entry: When McNulty emerges from the men's room looking plastered, the "men" sign is a mirror image, indicating a reversed shot. Also, one side of McNulty's collar is sticking out over his lapel. Sure enough, in the next shot, his collar is reversed.

Factual error: The police "clone" the cargo dock's computer, as though it were a cell phone, so that they can watch all the cargo traffic and see when containers disappear. In reality, to "clone" a computer would simply make an exact copy of that computer's hard drive at a specific point in time. In order to see what is happening on a specific computer in real time, it is necessary to install some sort of spyware on The Target machine.
Avon Barksdale: I ain't no suit-wearin' businessman like you... you know I'm just a gangsta I suppose.

Correction: The shot is not reversed, it is a reflection in a mirror. The mirror does not extend all the way to the bottom of the frame, and the bottles in the foreground can be seen with their reflections.
