Contrary to many popular TV shows and the movies, actual line-ups are not performed all that often. Most identifications are done through the use of photos. Unless you are the defendant participating in the line-up scenario, the other participants are either civilian police department employees, detectives or 'casual-clothes' officers who are chosen because of their similarity to the actual suspect.
