So many cases were being thrown out on police IDs they had to change the rules for photo id here. The computer prints a picture of the suspect along with 11 other slightly modified versions. The witness must turn over the photo sheet and select the right image, police aren't allowed to touch it. This is supposed to stop the trick of putting a heavily creased ID photo of the suspect on top and the police officer pointing to it while showing them to the witness. Of course it doesn't stop the police having a quiet word with the witness beforehand and explaining who they want convicted. Surprisingly this is more effective with 'innocent witnesses' - normal members of the public wanting to help the police, than with coerced witnesses.
