All perpetrator lineups shall be conducted using any one of the following except:

The correct choice highlights a critical aspect of minimizing bias in the lineup process. A key principle in conducting credible lineups is that the lineup administrator should not possess knowledge of the suspect's identity while administering the lineup. This principle is adhered to in options A, B, and C, where there are mechanisms in place to either blind the administrator or ensure they do not influence the identification process.

Using an automated computer program ensures that the lineup administrator is unaware of the identities of the individuals presented during the lineup until the end of the process. Similarly, an independent administrator oversees the lineup without knowing which person is the suspect, thus maintaining objectivity. Presenting photos in a randomized format where the administrator does not see them until the end further protects against suggestiveness or bias.

In contrast, any procedure that allows the lineup administrator to know the identity of the suspected perpetrator undermines the integrity of the lineup. Knowledge of who the suspect is can unconsciously lead the administrator to give subtle cues or guidance that could influence the witness's choice. This possibility of unintended bias is why maintaining a blind administration process is essential for the reliability of eyewitness identifications.
