Other rights of the suspect

Police (Identification Parades) Regulations, reg. 10 · Revised Edition 2020

(1) When the suspect is brought to the place where the parade is to be held, he shall be asked by the identification police officer whether he has any objection to the arrangements for the parade or to any of the other participants in it. The suspect may obtain advice from his attorney or friend, if present, before the parade proceeds. Where practicable, steps shall be taken to remove the grounds for objection. Where it is not practicable to do so, the identification police officer shall explain to the suspect why his objections cannot be met. (2) The suspect may select his own position in the line. Where there is more than one witness, the identification officer must tell the suspect, after each witness has left the room, that he can, if he wishes, change his position in the line. Each position in the line must be clearly numbered, whether by means of a numeral laid on the floor in front of each parade member or by other means.
