Heh yeah I have that same problem, even the previous show Homicide: Life on the Street wasn't nearly as detailed in the accuracy. Funny thing though, the universe of The Wire, Homicide: Life on the Streets and The X-Files is a shared universe. Or at least so say the writers of Cracked.

Basically a character from Homicide shows up in an episode of The Wire, HOWEVER this same character appeared in an episode of The X-Files back in the '90's when Homicide was on the air. The detective used the same name and it took place in Baltimore, where all the shows take place.
