And they will. Don't say shite. Miranda applies even if you haven't been charged with a crime.

Youtube: The Lie of the Polygraph

Really good documentary / extended interview with a long time polygrapher. He talks about how subjective it is and how to beat it.

Ole BR McDs used to like to give out polygraph test to unsuspecting 16 year olds who then would confess to much more cookie eating than possible. Check garnishments on a $3.35 hour employee would have them owing on payday.

Couldn’t I just take a Xanax before the test?

Junk science.

They are admissible in court, but you can pass one, and you can fail one, and both tests are admissible.

I’m pretty sure they will tell you that you are lying no matter what the results are. And the results are unreliable anyway.

You can always do like that guy in Oceans 13. He was interviewing for a job at the casino and he was a nervous guy so in order to keep the patterns the same on the polygraph they gave potential employees, he put a nail on the inside of his shoe and pushed his toe on against it so it would hurt and it gave the same patterns for each answer.

It’s not just heart rate, it’s blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, and I’m not sure what else the bigger cord around your chest measures.

Are they beatable? Yes. Are they fool proof? No. Are they a moderately reliable indicator of if you are hiding something? Yes. Is enhanced interrogation more reliable? When properly applied yes.

Just never take one, they are a tool to be used against you. While you’re at it, don’t talk to the popo either without your attorney present.

Back when I worked at a gas station, someone there was stealing cases of oil. They did polygraphs on all of us. Of course they got the right guy. But one of the warm up questions was whether I had ever filed a false insurance claim. As a teen i had lied about how a certain car accident happened. The examiner showed me that tape and that the only thing it registered a lie was the insurance claim question.

I don’t care if they are admissible in court. My experience is that they work.

Retired CIA spook told me it's hard to "beat" them, but the results can be rendered unusable by placing a battery between your toes. Squeeze your toes together for every answer, and it will generate enough interference to make any results inconclusive. FWIW, YMMV.

Ok but dont the questions that I proposed still apply? Like the same things that apply to your heart rate will apply to blood pressure and stuff as well. Bottom line is if you are being questioned about stealing 1000 dollars, that's the question that will provoke a natural response from your body bc that's what you know the shite is about

This is how Aggies manage to pass every single time. Sphincter muscle is so worn out it there's no movement. They have to cinch it up like a Crown Royal bag.

Ted Kennedy killed 'em for pre-employment. But they are still used in court. I've seen this guy work 4 or 5 times over the years. He's the real deal. John W Swartz, Houston, Texas
