Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) Practice Exa\

In an identification procedure, it is permissible to show two suspects of similar appearances together along with at least 12 other individuals. This approach aims to create a fair and reliable means for witnesses to identify a suspect. By including a sufficient number of people, the procedure minimizes the risk of misidentification and helps to ensure that the witnesses are making an informed decision based on more than just the similar appearance of the suspects.

Including a large enough group of individuals also serves to dilute any potential bias or undue influence that may arise from the presence of the two similar-looking suspects. This is especially important in ensuring the integrity of the identification process in a legal context. The specific requirement to show a minimum of 12 individuals is aligned with best practices in conducting identification procedures.

Other options, while they mention certain circumstances that could be important in different contexts, do not adhere to the established guidelines that support the inclusion of multiple individuals to improve the reliability and fairness of the identification process.
