Show-ups are relevant to which two elements of identification?

• A. Location and motive
• B. Time and date
• C. Time and place
• D. Suspect description

Answer: (C)

Show-ups are a quick, scene-based identification method whose usefulness hinges on when and where the identification takes place. The two elements involved are the time of the show-up and the place it occurs. Conducting the identification soon after the event and at or near the scene provides the context for the witness’s identification, making these factors critical. Motive or the suspect’s description aren’t the aspects addressed by the show-up procedure; it’s about anchoring the identification to a specific time and location.
