The ambulance medic checks for a heartbeat of the hit and run victim with a stethoscope over her dress twice.
When Reed and Malloy leave the apartment where the ladies are practicing karate, there is no damage to the door or jamb though it had been kicked in by Malloy. UPDATE: There is no damage to the door jamb as Mrs. Shapiro opens the door before Malloy could kick it in.
Two minutes in, when they take the first call of the show, Reed's window is rolled up, but when they switch to an external shot of the car, his elbow is hanging out the window.
Although minimal, you can see that the 'deceased' hit and run victim is breathing, very shallowly.
During an in-car shot of Reed and Malloy cruising, a call comes in. They 'clear' the run and the camera switches to an outside shot of their patrol car speeding onto a main road, from a side street marked with a sign saying 'Not a Through Street'.
During several in-car shots of Reed and Malloy driving, one can see the windshield is cut away to avoid reflections.
However, the edges of the cutout keep changing from a smooth curve to sharp angles and back.
Malloy removes the piece of dress with blood on it from the headlight trim of Troys car. The car is a crime scene and the dress piece evidence of the crime. The piece of dress ties the car to the hit and run victim so should not have been removed until after the arrest and evidence properly collected.
After Malloy covers the dead body, Mac shows up and starts taking pictures.
There is no reason to photograph a body that's been covered.

When Reed and Malloy find the car, they see a piece of the woman's dress stuck in the fender near the headlight. They take it out to look at it. Police would never do that without taking a picture of the dress fragment in its position on the car before removing it. The cloth fragment would then immediately be put into an evidence bag.
Officer Malloy checks for a pulse on the hit and run victim by putting two fingers just behind the lower ear lobe. There is no pulse pressure point in that area. The temporal artery on the temple and the carotid artery in the mid-neck area would be the two places to check for a pulse. An experienced officer like Malloy would know that.
