SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Prohibition on use of show-up identification by law-enforcement officers. Prohibits the use of a show-up identification by any law-enforcement officer. The bill defines a "show-up identification" as an identification procedure in which an eyewitness is presented with a single suspect or single photograph of a suspect for the purpose of determining whether the eyewitness identifies such suspect as the perpetrator. The bill provides that no evidence discovered or obtained as the result of a show-up identification shall be admissible in any trial, hearing, or other proceeding. The bill also requires the written policy and procedures for conducting in-person and photographic lineups established by Department of State Police and each local police department and sheriff's office to include a prohibition on the use of a show-up identification.
