* FoundFootage: The vast majority of the film is depicted using a combination of dash cams, lapel cams and straightforward camcorders. Both the cops and the Curbside Crew are explicitly shown recording themselves.themselves. Even something without an actual InUniverse camera source is generally filmed with a handheld style, giving it a {{Mockumentary}} feel without being too overt about the format.

Moving to Trivia.


* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: Done unintentionally towards the real life LAPD. During the scene where Taylor and Z stop a runner, an LAPD patrol helicopter was flying overhead and stopped to check out what was going on. This was not part of the script. Luckily, the amount of preparation Gyllenhaal did for the role to portray a police officer, he was able to tell the helicopter everything was OK with the helicopter none the wiser.

* ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: When Van Hauser and Sook come to release Taylor and Zavala to go back on patrol, after he goes under the tape he takes his cigar out of his mouth, he spits. This is an official crime scene, that's what's called "leaving your own evidence on the crime scene". Professional police officers don't spit or leave any of their bodily functions on the crime scene. That confuses the case. They would also not allow an officer on duty to smoke a cigar let alone inside a crime scene.
