Police lineups are a staple of crime dramas, but in real life they’ve also led to mistaken identifications and convictions. Now the D.C. Council wants MPD to adopt new measure to avoid those.

Adam Rosenberg recently visited the District’s Department of Motor Vehicles website to change his address — he had recently moved and needed to update his vehicle registration. He was impressed with the upgrades that the DMV had made to its website over the last year — even though the verification of his new address which the DMV approved, a Word document that anyone could have slapped together, was hardly foolproof. But Rosenberg wasn’t out to dupe anyone, so he let it slide and chalked it up to the cost of doing things online as opposed to waiting in the often interminable lines at a service center.
