While I certainly hope it never happens to you, it would be ironic if you wound up accused of a crime by way of mistaken identity and were convicted solely on eye-witness testimony.
It would, however, demonstrate unequivocally what many in this thread have tried to explain to you.
Just for the record, I am for the reforms and extra caution concerning mistaken identity or identifying a stranger. It's why I specifically made provisions in the OP that mistaken identity wasn't an issue. It would also be a shame if I was falsely convicted because of a botched DNA test as people have been.
