* FailedASpotCheck: Logan was booked, processed and sentenced to two years in prison through the LAPD - yet ''none of the cops even recognized him walking around the building all the time''! Potentially justified as Logan was likely arrested on minor charges as they couldn't prove he actually stole the diamond and was a non-violent offender.

* HollywoodLaw: Logan must have had an ''incredible'' lawyer to only serve two years in prison for the litany of crimes he could have been charged with, in addition to (at least visibly) not having any kind of supervised release or probationary period. Potentially justified as the defence could have argued that there was no proof ''he'' stole the diamond and not one of his accomplices (particularly when Deacon and Tulley got away), with his only obvious crimes being how he was in the building while it was under construction.

* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: At one point, Logan, still posing as a cop, is forced to pose as a drug dealer as part of a sting operation. The head of the ring asks him to shoot a man to prove he isn't a cop. [[spoiler:Since he hates the other man, he obliges immediately, but shoots him in the arm. When told more specifically to ''kill'' him, he hesitates for a long time and would have failed the test if not for the other cops showing up.]]

* WhiteBreadAndBlackBrotha: Invoked and parodied. Logan poses as an undercover LAPD detective and works with the white and more straight-edged Detective Carson. Being a thief, Logan is more aware about the inner workings of criminals, which greatly impresses the more bureaucratic Carlson.


* SaltAndPepper: Carlson representing the former and Logan the latter.
