Sappy Hallmark Mystery with Inaccuracies

Warning: Spoilers
If you like Hallmark cozy mysteries and don't mind a few factual inaccuracies, you'll probably enjoy this one.

If you like your movies more accurate than fantastic, change the channel.

An SFPD detective goes to a remote barn on a farm to exercise her police powers. San Francisco has a distinct shortage of land for farms. The farm would have to be outside of SF County and city jurisdiction. She'd have had to check-in with and partner with the actual local authorities.

She tells chef-boy that all cops keep the chamber of their guns empty. Why would they do that? It's a good way to get killed when someone pulls a gun on you. Not to mention, she never racked the slide on her back-up weapon, so if she "always" keeps the chamber empty, she couldn't have fired the gun at the bad guy who stole hers.

She tells chef-boy that she could tell from the chamber indicator the the bad guy had not racked a round into the chamber. The chamber indicator is usually only a millimeter or two in size and is located near the chamber, a view she did not have from her vantage point, even if she had the eagle eyes needed to see it from that distance.

Cop-girl acted without back up in a remote location. I'm pretty sure that's against standard procedure for a police detective moving in to arrest a suspect.
