Mum - S3-E5

Continuity mistake: As Vic, Lem and Ronnie are talking to the two men at the table, they restrain the men (seemingly only Juan is handcuffed, with his arms behind him - Ronnie seems to only pin one of the other men's arms behind him). After Vic, Lem and Ronnie walk away, at no point do they undo at least Juan's handcuffs, but immediately the two men are rubbing their freed hands. (00:21:40)

Safe - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Aceveda and Vic are interrogating a man about the 'Narco Corrido' murders. Aceveda pushes the man into the corner of the room and begins to kick him. He get about six good kicks in before Vic diffuses the situation. After, Aceveda storms out of The Barn in anger, and Vic views the recording from the interrogation room. The footage is inconsistent as to what transpired earlier, in fact it is an entirely different take. Aceveda only manages about two kicks before Vic says "Enough, enough" - this and the rest of the dialogue is also conflicting. (00:29:30)

Safe - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: Claudette and Dutch are questioning a man in a leather jacket about his involvement in a meth lab. Claudette passes the man a photo, he doesn't recognise the girl, tosses it back across the table and Claudette reaches for it with her right hand. The shot changes and now the photo is in Claudette's left hand as she sets it down. (00:30:50)

Moving Day - S7-E9

Visible crew/equipment: The cops follow Vic at the hospital in the parking lot, and as the camera is on him seeing the other cops, in the rear the cameraman and his spare camera are on the floor in-between the cars on the right. (00:29:35)

Family Meeting - S7-E13

Continuity mistake: At the end of the Vic-Claudette interrogation at the Barn, Vic rips off a camera from the wall. But earlier, at the moment Claudette leaves the room after showing Vic photos of Shane's suicide, a square of exposed wall where that camera used to be is briefly shown. (01:00:17)

David Aceveda: You're going to free a murderer so his mob boss can kill him?
Shane Vendrell: It sounded a lot better the way Vic explained it.
