What are some methods of reducing the suggestiveness of a lineup?
What will be an ideal response?
A double-blind lineup is one in which the investigator conducting the lineup (or assembling a photo array) does not know who the suspect is. This helps ensure that the investigator will not lead the witness in a particular direction.
A double-blind lineup requires at least two investigators instead of the usual one: one to know the identity of the suspect and another to administer the lineup without knowing the suspect's real identity. One solution to this problem is to use a "virtual officer" to conduct the procedure.
