Document Summary
We cannot force an individual to take part in a line up, he must give consent: live line-up live line-ups rarely occur anymore, but still exist, photo line-up . Sophonow inquiry case where a guy killed a girl in a donut shop with twine. 3 and a half years in jail, sent home with 2. 5 million for a wrongful conviction. Determined that we have at least 10 people in a lineup. 2 types of identification: positive identification 100% sure, qualified identification not positive identification, not admissible, video line up can be used in court (ex. Bank robbery video), must prove continuity from the moment it was seized. Video line-ups are used when the suspect refuses to be apart of a live line-up. You may take a video/measurements/pictures, this power given by the identification of criminals act. Show people sequentially the pictures to eliminate bias.
