A suspect does not have the right to have counsel present during field identification.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a field identification or "show-up" procedure, which occurs shortly after the commission of a crime, the suspect does not have the constitutional right to have counsel present. This is because the event is considered part of the investigatory process rather than a critical stage of prosecution where the Sixth Amendment right to counsel would apply.
