Procedure for identification

(1) The witness should make an identification by indicating the number of the person concerned. (2) If the witness makes an identification after the parade has ended, the suspect and, if present, his attorney, interpreter or friend shall be informed. When this occurs, consideration should be given to allowing the witness a second opportunity to identify (3) If a witness wishes to hear any parade member speak, adopt any specified posture or see him move, the identification officer shall first ask him whether he can identify any persons on the parade on the basis of appearance only. Where the request is to hear members of the parade speak, the witness shall be reminded that the participants in the parade have been chosen on the basis of physical appearance only. Members of the parade may then be asked to comply with the witness’s request to hear them speak, to see them move or to adopt any specified posture. (4) When the last witness has left, the identification officer shall ask the suspect whether he wishes to make any comments on the conduct of the parade and whatever he says will be taken down in writing.
