Eyewitness Identification

Summary

It would require law‑enforcement agencies to use independent administrators for lineups, document eyewitness descriptions, and only include suspects with evidence‑based justification. The bill also limits facial‑recognition technology, mandates at least five filler participants in lineups, and prefers lineups over show‑ups or first‑time‑in‑court identifications. These changes aim to reduce mistaken identifications.
