    • Trivia
      The helicopter guest star was, of course, not an actual CHP aircraft. N59539 was a privately registered 1970 Bell 206B Jet Ranger II that flew up until September 2005 immediately following Hurricane Katrina. While on a charter flight to survey the damage along the Mississippi River, the pilot lost control and crashed in the water. All occupants were able to swim to shore, but the craft quickly sank. As of 2010, the registration was struck from the record. Even now, it is considered to be unrecoverable and permanently lost.
    • Goofs
      When the wrong way driver is stopped, you can see the lane is split with a painted yellow line indicating it is a two way street ( a one way street would have a white line). Additionally, there are street signs facing the "Wrong Way" as well as a vehicle parked also facing the "Wrong Way", indicating this is a two way street.
