Eyewitness Identification

Summary

The bill changes Florida’s eyewitness identification rules by requiring officers to record a detailed eyewitness description, use evidence‑based reasons to place a suspect in a lineup, and conduct lineups with an independent administrator and at least five non‑suspect fillers. It also limits the use of show‑ups, mandates audio‑video recording of all procedures, and sets standards for facial‑recognition technology and attorney presence.
