HB1209:

Law-enforcement officers; prohibition on use of show-up identification.

Bill Summary:

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.
