Anyone done a Police Line Up?????

[DanDare]

I was witness to a hit and run accident a month or so ago.
A couple of Chav's in a clapped out Escort bashed into the back a car waiting to turn on an A road. Accident wasn't serious and was just that. :oops: :oops:

But what annoyed me most is how they sped off with no regard for the safety of the other people. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Anyway, gave the Police the vehicle details and all that and now me and the missus
are required to attend a computer line up, where I presume they show so piccy's and I have to pull him out.

What concerns me is that all I remember is that he was a young lad. I took more notice of the car than him as I wasn't expecting him to dissapear.

I'd hate to get it wrong only for him to get away with it. How much does the line up depend on a conviction????

I suppose it also depends on the other faces in the line up, ie: if they were bold or ginger or had a beard. If they are all similar then I'm not certain.

Anyone done one before????????

Not been the person doing the picking, but i once took part in an actual line up.

All the people who attended got £40 cash for their time. It was great. We had to line up, in front of a number on the floor. We were partitioned by a one way mirror so they could see us but we couldnt see here.

It was kinda weird knowing that there were 6 of us in that line up - and ONE of them was the person who had done the crime. :?

None of us knew which one though.

Ha ha, I was in a line up once with a load of my school mates. Obviously, it was the guy none of us knew!

£20? Lovely :D

I think things are all done on computers now a work colleagues girl friend was mugged last month and they caught the guy but instead of seeing actual people in the line up it was a series of computer pictures of the profile and front head shots of individuals.

Did one years ago, they just brought a laptop round and clicked through a series of pictures
