Latvia, Nikolaj's home country, is often displayed as underdeveloped country. E.g. in 4.10, it is mentioned that Christmas at the orphanage has been canceled due to famine.
Latvia is far from being underdeveloped. In fact, it has been part of the European Union since 2004, has introduced the Euro in 2014 and is in the Top 40 of the Human Development Index.

Whenever his medals are visible, Captain Holt places his Commendation breast bar above his World Trade Center Breast Bar. When the WTC bar is worn, it is worn above all other medals, but below the American Flag bar.
Pimento claims to have been actually involved in actual violence (murder) while undercover. It would have been grossly illegal for an LEO officer to be involved in the actual commission of a violent crime, especially murder, and any LEO in Pimento's capacity would have withdrawn well ahead of the actual commission of said crime which would have outweighed his mission in the first place.
Jake Peralta and Rosa Diaz were sent to prison for six months due to the corruption of a police lieutenant who was running a robbery ring. Although they are released from prison, for some reason they don't seem to receive a multi-million dollar settlement for their problems.
Additionally they return to their same roles in the same precinct, despite detective slots being coveted and their likely having been replaced in their absence.

Holt carries a revolver rather than a semiautomatic like Jake, Rosa, Amy, Charles and Terry do because the NYPD allowed any officer who purchased a revolver prior to the department's switchover to semiautomatics in 1994--such as Holt, who had been with the department since the 1970s--to keep them.
Cheddar, Captain Holt's Pembroke Welsh Corgi is obviously played different dogs at different times and on one occasion was played by a different variety of corgi, a Cardigan Welsh Corgi which has a completely different coat color and pattern.
On multiple episodes, palm trees can be seen in the background of shots supposedly set in New York. With the exception of of palm trees in arboretums and museums, there are no palm trees in New York City.
In multiple scenes filmed outdoors, palm trees can be seen in the background.
The series is supposed to be set in Brooklyn, New York which does not have palm trees growing outside naturally.
On several different episodes, trees like Eucalyptus and Douglas firs are seen in the near background. Those types of trees are not grown in or native to New York City, nor New York State.
One episode in the first season shows Hitchcock and Scully in the 1970s, then later one episode in the sixth season shows Hitchcock and Scully in 1986 appearing vastly younger (and played by different actors).
There would have been absolutely no reason for the present-day Latvian authorities to approve the adoption of Nikolaj to a totally different culture and environment that is the United States, as it would violate the Convention of the Rights of the Child, regardless of his speaking perfect English, for some reason, after being in an orphanage and long before the commencement of formal foreign language education.
Captain Holt is generally regarded for his attention to detail and procedure, however the holster he wears is actually incredibly unsafe. It features a thumb-break retention strap that can interfere with drawing his revolver during a confrontation. The holster also leaves the trigger-guard of his revolver uncovered, increasing the likelihood of a negligent discharge while drawing or holstering, and making it possible for someone trying to take his revolver to fire it in the holster.
