Council Member Ariola inquires about the procedure for unsealing and administering photo arrays during lineups, specifically questioning the involvement of the arrested individual and their attorney in this process. The response clarifies that photo arrays are administered separately, and during lineups, the same fairness protocols apply, such as no suggestive language and allowing suspects to choose their position. Moreover, accommodations like sitting down for height discrepancies or using a sheet to ensure only head views are shared describe efforts to maintain justice and fairness in the process.
