law enforcement officer, is a party to the conversation and has | ||
consented to the conversation being intercepted or recorded in | ||
the course of an investigation of a drug offense. The State's | ||
Attorney may grant this verbal approval only after determining | ||
that reasonable cause exists to believe that a drug offense | ||
will be committed by a specified individual or individuals | ||
within a designated period of time. | ||
(2) Request for approval. To invoke the exception contained | ||
in this subsection (q), a law enforcement officer shall make a | ||
written or verbal request for approval to the appropriate | ||

specified law enforcement officer or person acting at the | ||

individuals specified in the request for approval in the | ||

agency, regulatory body, legislative committee, or other | ||
authority of this State, or a political subdivision of the | ||
State, other than in a prosecution of: | ||

under this subsection (q); or | ||
(C) any other forcible felony committed while the | ||
recording or interception was approved in accordance with | ||
this Section (q), but for this specific category of | ||
prosecutions, only if the law enforcement officer or person | ||
acting at the direction of a law enforcement officer who | ||
has consented to the conversation being intercepted or | ||
recorded suffers great bodily injury or is killed during | ||
the commission of the charged forcible felony. | ||
(5) Compliance with the provisions of this subsection is a | ||
prerequisite to the admissibility in evidence of any part of | ||
the contents of any wire, electronic or oral communication that | ||
has been intercepted as a result of this exception, but nothing |
in this subsection shall be deemed to prevent a court from | ||
otherwise excluding the evidence on any other ground, nor shall | ||
anything in this subsection be deemed to prevent a court from | ||
independently reviewing the admissibility of the evidence for | ||
compliance with the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution | ||
or with Article I, Section 6 of the Illinois Constitution. | ||
(6) Use of recordings or intercepts unrelated to drug | ||
offenses. Whenever any wire, electronic, or oral communication | ||
has been recorded or intercepted as a result of this exception | ||
that is not related to a drug offense or a forcible felony | ||
committed in the course of a drug offense, no part of the | ||
contents of the communication and evidence derived from the | ||
communication may be received in evidence in any trial, | ||
hearing, or other proceeding in or before any court, grand | ||
jury, department, officer, agency, regulatory body, | ||
legislative committee, or other authority of this State, or a | ||
political subdivision of the State, nor may it be publicly | ||

Section 10. The Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963 is | ||
amended by adding Sections 107A-0.1 and 107A-2 as follows: | ||
(725 ILCS 5/107A-0.1 new) | ||
Sec. 107A-0.1. Definitions. |
For the purposes of this Article: | ||
"Eyewitness" means a person viewing the lineup whose | ||
identification by sight of another person may be relevant | ||
in a criminal proceeding. | ||
"Filler" means a person or a photograph of a person who | ||
is not suspected of an offense and is included in a lineup. | ||
"Independent administrator" means a lineup | ||
administrator who is not participating in the | ||
investigation of the criminal offense and is unaware of | ||
which person in the lineup is the suspected perpetrator. | ||
"Lineup" includes a photo lineup or live lineup. | ||
"Lineup administrator" means the person who conducts a | ||
lineup. | ||
"Live lineup" means a procedure in which a group of | ||
persons is displayed to an eyewitness for the purpose of | ||
determining if the eyewitness is able to identify the | ||
perpetrator of a crime, but does not include a showup. | ||
"Photo lineup" means a procedure in which photographs | ||
are displayed to an eyewitness for the purpose of | ||
determining if the eyewitness is able to identify the | ||
perpetrator of a crime. | ||
"Sequential lineup" means a live or photo lineup in | ||
which each person or photograph is presented to an | ||
eyewitness separately, in a previously determined order, | ||
and removed from the eyewitness's view before the next | ||
person or photograph is presented, in order to determine if |
the eyewitness is able to identify the perpetrator of a | ||
crime. | ||
"Showup" means a procedure in which a suspected | ||
perpetrator is presented to the eyewitness at, or near, a | ||
crime scene for the purpose of obtaining an immediate | ||
identification. | ||
"Simultaneous lineup" means a live or photo lineup in | ||
which a group of persons or array of photographs is | ||
presented simultaneously to an eyewitness for the purpose | ||
of determining if the eyewitness is able to identify the | ||

(725 ILCS 5/107A-2 new) | ||
Sec. 107A-2. Lineup procedure. | ||
(a) All lineups shall be conducted using one of the | ||
following methods: | ||
(1) An independent administrator, unless it is not | ||
practical. | ||
(2) An automated computer program or other device that | ||
can automatically display a photo lineup to an eyewitness | ||
in a manner that prevents the lineup administrator from | ||
seeing which photograph or photographs the eyewitness is | ||
viewing until after the lineup is completed. The automated | ||
computer program may present the photographs to the | ||
eyewitness simultaneously or sequentially, consistent with | ||
the law enforcement agency guidelines required under |
subsection (b) of this Section. | ||
(3) A procedure in which photographs are placed in | ||
folders, randomly numbered, and shuffled and then | ||
presented to an eyewitness such that the lineup | ||
administrator cannot see or know which photograph or | ||
photographs are being presented to the eyewitness until | ||
after the procedure is completed. The photographs may be | ||
presented to the eyewitness simultaneously or | ||
sequentially, consistent with the law enforcement agency | ||
guidelines required under subsection (b) of this Section. | ||
(4) Any other procedure that prevents the lineup | ||
administrator from knowing the identity of the suspected | ||
perpetrator or seeing or knowing the persons or photographs | ||
being presented to the eyewitness until after the procedure | ||
is completed. | ||
(b) Each law enforcement agency shall adopt written | ||
guidelines setting forth when, if at all, simultaneous lineups | ||
shall be conducted and when, if at all, sequential lineups | ||
shall be conducted. This subsection does not establish a | ||
preference for whether a law enforcement agency should conduct | ||
simultaneous lineups or sequential lineups. Whether and when to | ||
conduct simultaneous lineups or sequential lineups is at the | ||
discretion of each law enforcement agency. If, after the | ||
effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General | ||
Assembly, a method of conducting a lineup different from a | ||
simultaneous or sequential lineup is determined by the Illinois |
Supreme Court to be sufficiently established to have gained | ||
general acceptance as a reliable method for eyewitness | ||
identifications and provides more accurate results than | ||
simultaneous or sequential lineups, a law enforcement agency | ||
may adopt written guidelines setting forth when, if at all, | ||
this different method of conducting lineups shall be used and, | ||
when feasible, the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section | ||
shall apply to the use of these methods. | ||
(c) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act | ||
of the 98th General Assembly, there is no preference
as to | ||
whether a law enforcement agency conducts a live lineup or a | ||
photo lineup and to the extent that the common law directs | ||
otherwise, this direction is abrogated. | ||
(d) If a lineup administrator conducts a sequential lineup, | ||
the following shall apply: | ||
(1) Solely at the eyewitness's request, the lineup | ||
administrator may present a person or photograph to the | ||
eyewitness an additional time but only after the eyewitness | ||
has first viewed each person or photograph one time. | ||
(2) If the eyewitness identifies a person as a | ||
perpetrator, the lineup administrator shall continue to | ||
sequentially present the remaining persons or photographs | ||
to the eyewitness until the eyewitness has viewed each | ||
person or photograph. | ||
(e) Before a lineup is conducted: | ||
(1) The eyewitness shall be instructed that: |
(A) if recording the lineup is practical, an audio | ||
and video recording of the lineup will be made for the | ||
purpose of accurately documenting all statements made | ||
by the eyewitness, unless the eyewitness refuses to the | ||
recording of the lineup, and that if a recording is | ||
made it will be of the persons in the lineup and the | ||
eyewitness; | ||
(B) the perpetrator may or may not be presented in | ||
the lineup; | ||
(C)
if an independent administrator is conducting | ||
the lineup, the independent administrator does not | ||
know the suspected perpetrator's identity or if the | ||
administrator conducting the lineup is not an | ||
independent administrator, the eyewitness should not | ||
assume that the lineup administrator knows which | ||
person in the lineup is the suspect; | ||
(D) the eyewitness should not feel compelled to | ||
make an identification; | ||
(E) it is as important to exclude innocent persons | ||
as it is to identify a perpetrator; and | ||
(F) the investigation will continue whether or not | ||
an identification is made. | ||
(2)
The eyewitness shall acknowledge in writing the | ||
receipt of the instructions required under this subsection | ||
and, if applicable, the refusal to be recorded. If the | ||
eyewitness refuses to sign the acknowledgement, the lineup |
administrator shall note the refusal of the eyewitness to | ||
sign the acknowledgement and shall also sign the | ||
acknowledgement. | ||
(f) In conducting a lineup: | ||
(1) When practicable, the lineup administrator shall | ||
separate all eyewitnesses in order to prevent the | ||
eyewitnesses from conferring with one another before and | ||
during the lineup procedure. If separating the | ||
eyewitnesses is not practicable, the lineup administrator | ||
shall ensure that all eyewitnesses are monitored and that | ||
they do not confer with one another while waiting to view | ||
the lineup and during the lineup. | ||
(2) Each eyewitness shall perform the identification | ||
procedures without any other eyewitness present. Each | ||
eyewitness shall be given instructions regarding the | ||
identification procedures without other eyewitnesses | ||
present. | ||
(3) The lineup shall be composed to ensure that the | ||
suspected perpetrator does not unduly stand out from the | ||
fillers. In addition: | ||
(A) Only one suspected perpetrator shall be | ||
included in a lineup. | ||
(B) The suspected perpetrator shall not be | ||
substantially different in appearance from the fillers | ||
based on the eyewitness's previous description of the | ||
perpetrator or based on other factors that would draw |
attention to the suspected perpetrator. | ||
(C) At least 5 fillers shall be included in a photo | ||
lineup, in addition to the suspected perpetrator. | ||
(D) When practicable, at least 5 fillers shall be | ||
included in a live lineup, in addition to the suspected | ||
perpetrator, but in no event shall there be less than 3 | ||
fillers in addition to the suspected perpetrator. | ||
(E) If the eyewitness has previously viewed a photo | ||
lineup or live lineup in connection with the | ||
identification of another person suspected of | ||
involvement in the offense, the fillers in the lineup | ||
in which the current suspected perpetrator | ||
participates shall be different from the fillers used | ||
in the prior lineups. | ||
(4) If there are multiple eyewitnesses, subject to the | ||
requirements in subsection (a) of this Section and to the | ||
extent possible, the suspected perpetrator shall be placed | ||
in a different position in the lineup or photo array for | ||
each eyewitness. | ||
(5) Nothing shall be communicated to the eyewitness | ||
regarding the suspected perpetrator's position in the | ||
lineup or regarding anything that may influence the | ||
eyewitness's identification. | ||
(6) No writings or information concerning any previous | ||
arrest, indictment, or conviction of the suspected | ||
perpetrator shall be visible or made known to the |
eyewitness. | ||
(7) If a photo lineup, the photograph of the suspected | ||
perpetrator shall be contemporary in relation to the | ||
photographs of the fillers and, to the extent practicable, | ||
shall resemble the suspected perpetrator's appearance at | ||
the time of the offense. | ||
(8) If a live lineup, any identifying actions, such as | ||
speech, gestures, or other movements, shall be performed by | ||
all lineup participants. | ||
(9) If a live lineup, all lineup participants must be | ||
out of view of the eyewitness prior to the lineup. | ||
(10) The lineup administrator shall obtain and | ||
document any and all statements made by the eyewitness | ||
during the lineup as to the perpetrator's identity. When | ||
practicable, an audio or video recording of the statements | ||
shall be made. | ||
(11) If the eyewitness identifies a person as the | ||
perpetrator, the eyewitness shall not be provided any | ||
information concerning the person until after the lineup is | ||
completed. | ||
(12) Unless otherwise allowed under subsection (a) of | ||
this Section, there shall not be anyone present during a | ||
lineup who knows the suspected perpetrator's identity, | ||
except the eyewitness and suspected perpetrator's counsel | ||
if required by law. | ||
(g) The lineup administrator shall make an official report |
of all lineups, which shall include all of the following | ||
information: | ||
(1) All identification and non-identification results | ||
obtained during the lineup, signed by the eyewitness, | ||
including any and all statements made by the eyewitness | ||
during the lineup as to the perpetrator's identity as | ||
required under paragraph (10) of subsection (f) of this | ||
Section. If the eyewitness refuses to sign, the lineup | ||
administrator shall note the refusal of the eyewitness to | ||
sign the results and shall also sign the notation. | ||
(2) The names of all persons who viewed the lineup. | ||
(3) The names of all law enforcement officers and | ||
counsel present during the lineup. | ||
(4) The date, time, and location of the lineup. | ||
(5) Whether it was a photo lineup or live lineup and | ||
how many persons or photographs were presented in the | ||
lineup. | ||
(6) The sources of all persons or photographs used as | ||
fillers in the lineup. | ||
(7) In a photo lineup, the actual photographs shown to | ||
the eyewitness. | ||
(8) In a live lineup, a photograph or other visual | ||
recording of the lineup that includes all persons who | ||
participated in the lineup. | ||
(9) If applicable, the eyewitness's refusal to be | ||
recorded. |
(10) If applicable, the reason for any | ||
impracticability in strict compliance with this Section. | ||
(h) Unless it is not practical or the eyewitness refuses, a | ||
video record of all lineup procedures shall be made. | ||
(1) If a video record is not practical or the | ||
eyewitness refuses to allow a video record to be made: | ||
(A) the reasons or the refusal shall be documented | ||
in the official report required under subsection (g) of | ||
this Section; | ||
(B) an audio record shall be made, if practical; | ||
and | ||
(C) if a live lineup, the lineup shall be | ||
photographed. | ||
(2) If an audio record is not practical, the reasons | ||
shall be documented in the official report required under | ||
subsection (g) of this Section. | ||
(i) The
photographs, recordings, and the official report of | ||
the lineup required by this Section shall
be disclosed to | ||
counsel for the accused as provided by the Illinois Supreme | ||
Court Rules regarding discovery. All photographs
of suspected | ||
perpetrators shown to an eyewitness during a lineup shall be
| ||
disclosed to counsel for the accused as provided by the | ||
Illinois Supreme Court Rules regarding discovery. To protect | ||
the identity of the eyewitness and the identities of law | ||
enforcement officers used as fillers in the lineup from being | ||
disclosed to third parties, the State's Attorney shall petition |
the court for a protective order under Supreme Court Rule 415 | ||
upon disclosure of the photographs or recordings to the counsel | ||
of the accused. | ||
(j) All of the following shall be available as consequences | ||
of compliance or noncompliance with the requirements of this | ||
Section: | ||
(1) Failure to comply with any of the requirements of | ||
this Section shall be a factor to be considered by the | ||
court in adjudicating a motion to suppress an eyewitness | ||
identification or any other motion to bar an eyewitness | ||
identification. These motions shall be in writing and state | ||
facts showing how the identification procedure was | ||
improper. This paragraph (1) makes no change to existing | ||
applicable common law or statutory standards or burdens of | ||
proof. | ||
(2) When warranted by the evidence presented at trial, | ||
the jury shall be instructed that it may consider all the | ||
facts and circumstances including compliance or | ||
noncompliance with this Section to assist in its weighing | ||
of the identification testimony of an eyewitness. | ||
(k) Any electronic recording made during a lineup that is | ||
compiled by any law enforcement agency as required by this | ||
Section for the purposes of fulfilling the requirements of this | ||
Section shall be confidential and exempt from public inspection | ||
and copying, as provided under Section 7 of the Freedom of | ||
Information Act, and the recording shall not be transmitted to |
any person except as necessary to comply with this Section. | ||
