I went along to be in one when I lived in Leicester but the suspect had grown a beard so we all got sent home.

I remember a police van pulling up outside a hall of residence on my uni campus, they were looking for people to be in a line up, everybody thought they were there over telly licences and ran off to cut the plugs off their tellys LaughLaugh

No joy. Nine faces one by one on a monitor, no live line up. I couldn`t be sure but i had one down as 4/6 fav but possibly it could have been the 2nd fav or 3rd. Slightly brassed off the memory bank let me down.

The curious case of 2 pedestrians who were killed by cars near here recently.

Initial BBC report was they were killed on the dual carriageway near Terrington St John on the A17,

I pointed out to Mrs CMAT that there is no dual carriageway near that village on the A17.

The next day in the Eastern Daily Press, the incident was said to have been on the A47, where there is a dual carriageway.

The BBC eventually got the road number right, but said one lane had been closed by the police.   

The same paper reported that the police shut the entire A47 SOUTHBOUND carriageway for seven hours.

Two paragraphs later, the A47 is described, correctly, as the busiest EAST-WEST road in the region.

Eye witnesses, who are probably going past at 60mph+, report seeing the couple walking along the road, hand in hand.

This may be true, but as he was supposed to have chucked her in the path of a car, then got hit by a different car himself, a romantic holding of hands is somewhat unlikely, unless it was a double suicide, but witnesses report he threw her first.

They were seen in Worzels Farm Shop an hour before this and told staff to phone the police as they 'would be dead within an hour.'   

The man was described as white, 6 feet 1 inch tall, slim build, short dark hair, wearing a blue denim jacket and a grey t-shirt.   

The woman was described as white, 5 feet 7, slim build, long auburn hair. She was wearing a bright pink t-shirt, and black knee length leggings.

Another witness said he had a black leather jacket on, while she was wearing jeans.

A witness said they appeared to be going for a Sunday stroll.

Despite the fact it was pissing down with rain Shocked

No witnesses said that they were walking barefeet, which they were when they left the farm shop.

They were both said to be Lithuanian.

This needs the combined logic of the Chit Chat Detective Agency.

BBC - useless as ever in the rush to get news out first. 

Witnesses - not worth two bob.

Eastern Daily Press - sack your reporter.

I couldn`t make a positive identification. Although i got a good look for about 5 secs at the attacker i don`t think that i would be able to pick him out. At the time my mind was probably preparing me for what i may find. ie battered victim.

Call me a taxi - read this too and it seemed full of contradictions - there is a similiar case involving two eastern european women a few years ago in the UK throwing themselves at traffic - it was caught on camera.

A conspiracy theory says that they have been brainwashed by a government agency to act in a suicide role but it went wrong or they escaped - quite far fetched but it was at least an explanation.

When I was at Uni they used to offer us £12 to do them, which was enough for a decent night out in those days.
My favourite was the line up with 8 poncey looking students and the heavily tattooed, blood-stained, knuckle dragging gorilla.

Where they 2 leggy blond lasses, possibly sisters? Car gets pulled over as they are being questioned they both attempt to throw themselves in front of oncoming traffic. One get run over but then gets up with super strength and the police are struggling to contain her. The other gets knocked down by a car and is also super strengthed and still battling with the police?

That was on police, camera action or whatever it is. Yes it was almost beyond belief.

i had to do one

the guy opted to be identified going down the escalator at a shopping centre
in the middle of crowds within a 10 minute period

me and the mrs did some shopping before the id , and saw the guy with the police
at the top of the escalator, some hour or so before the id.

had to explain we could not take part, he wasnt identified by anyone else.

it was him

The thing is i made him the 4/6 fav out of the 9 to be most likely him. If they put another 9 faces up i would have made another 4/6 fav.

The question you are asked is `Is the person you saw regarding the incident in the line up?` you can`t be picking them out on maybee`s.

Exactly Gabrial...it's a heck of a lot more difficult being sure than people think especially when the incident happened months beforehand.
By:

When: 07 Aug 14 10:33
Yes Posy and for reasons unknown they only show them from the chest upwards on a monitor. When you only get a passing glance of a suspect their faces morph into other faces which you have seen since.

I mean i was thinking hard if if i could recall the image of the suspect in my head and i kept seeing Shaun Wright Philips` dribbling face.Plain

Some **** knocked me unconscious with a pistol a few years back during an armed robbery and I had to pick him out about 6 months later in an ID parade. I was nervous as to whether I would recognise him after so long despite having a really good look at him, but actually I needn't have worried as I instantly picked him out despite the fact that he'd changed his hair style. I made him move towards during the ID parade so that he knew that I'd positively ID'd him and give him a few sleepless nights knowing that in all likelihood he was going to prison. He ended up with 12 years.Grin
