Provide an example
What will be an ideal response?
A lineup is a police identification procedure by which the suspect in a crime is
exhibited, along with others with similar physical characteristics, before the victim or
witness to determine if he can be identified as having committed the offense. A
showup is a one-on-one confrontation between a suspect and a witness to crime. A
photographic identification is a process in which a victim or witness is shown
photographs of possible suspects. Due process applies in all three procedures. The
Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures does not
apply in any of the three. The Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination
does not apply in any of the three. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel applies to
lineups and showups after charges have been filed? but does not apply to
photographic identifications.
