933 (4th Cir.1986), and United States v. Farnsworth, 729 F.2d 1158 (8th Cir.1984). In both of those cases, the courts permitted police officers and parole officers to identify defendants in surveillance videos and rejected the defendants’ arguments that the identifications were unduly prejudicial specifically because “ ‘[n]othing at trial gave the jury any reason to conclude that [the witnesses] were involved in law enforcement.’” Hardie, 513 So.2d at 793 (quoting Allen, 787 F.2d at 937). Under those circumstances, the proper identification testimony did not give rise to an improper inference of prior criminal conduct. Other courts have since applied this same limitation to identification testimony by police officers. Compare State v. Price, 701 So.2d 1204, 1206-07 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997) (<HOLDING>), and Edwards v. State, 583 So.2d 740, 741
