People who've been drinking or using drugs make awful witnesses, more than twice as likely to identify the wrong person, even just minutes later. Young children are more prone to suggestion than anyone else, and great care must be taken to avoid contamination. After 80, we're more likely to mix up pieces of different memories, and we have a harder time recalling the context in which events occurred. This can make us more suggestible, as well. Police officers like to tout their 'training and experience' in recognizing faces, but they are no better than the rest of us.\" width=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawcomic.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/pt05pg41-1.png 2800w, https:\/\/lawcomic.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/pt05pg41-1-247x300.png 247w, https:\/\/lawcomic.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/pt05pg41-1-768x933.png 768w, https:\/\/lawcomic.net\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/pt05pg41-1-843x1024.png 843w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2800px) 100vw, 2800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Yay!
