Your good lawyer would call attention to this obviously biased identification procedure if identification is an issue in the case.

You'll get the answer to that in your case from the judge as a result of you filing an appropriate evidence suppression motion. All the facts and circumstances will determine his decision whether it was 'legal' or not.
