This procedure is a violation of the defendant's rights. The police must inform the suspect and their attorney of any witnesses or observers present during interrogation, as this is a violation of the defendant's right to a fair trial and legal counsel. Allowing a witness to observe without informing the suspect or attorney can taint the identification process and compromise the integrity of the investigation.
