What could make eye witness testimony more accurate and helpful?

The video discusses lineup procedures used by police, focusing on double-blind and single-blind lineups. In a double-blind lineup, neither the witness nor the officer knows the suspect's identity, reducing bias. In contrast, a single-blind lineup is where only the witness is unaware of the suspect, which can lead to unintentional cues from the officer. These cues can influence the witness's decision, potentially increasing incorrect identifications. The video emphasizes the importance of fair procedures to prevent bias in suspect identification.
