You have the legal right to refuse to do a polygraph test. If you are being charged with an offense you were arrested and told your Miranda rights, one of which is the right to remain silent.\n   If you do voluntarily submit to the test , the results can be used as evidence against you in a future trial.

as said, older lie detectors generally measure a few biorythmic variables like pulse and persperation, and require a highly trained operator to tabulate the results.\n\na couple of new forms of lie detection also include variables like pupil dilation, brain scanning techniques, and I recall hearing about one that even measured certain hormone levels in the blood.\n\nnewer lie detectors can be computer controlled, but generally still require a human's intuition to make the final call.  Since humans have to interpret the data, it makes the test somewhat error prone, which is one of the reasons that lie detectors cannot be used as testimony in court.\n\nIt is entirely possible to "beat" the lie detectors too, but I understand that it requires a certain degree of mental training.

Polygraphy is Quackery\n\nScientists overwhelmingly agree that polygraph "testing" is junk science. The only "raging debate" pits people who don't yet understand that it's flimflam against the growing number who do. \n\nOur government's stubborn reliance on this pseudoscience poses a clear and present danger: make-believe science yields make-believe security. \n\nThis non-profit, public interest website is dedicated to telling the truth about lie detectors that those with vested interests in perpetuating the polygraph don't want you to know. \n  \nThe lie detector is itself based on lies...\n\nDid you know it takes less training to give lie detector "tests" than it does to give haircuts? The longest polygraph school (run by the U.S. Government; perhaps its students are slow learners) produces newly minted polygraphers in just 14 weeks -- less than half the time it takes to graduate from a typical barber college. But while barber college graduates can cut hair, polygraph school graduates cannot detect lies. \n \nThe dirty little secret behind the polygraph is that the "test" depends on trickery, not science. The person being "tested" is not supposed to know that while the polygraph operator declares that all questions must be answered truthfully, warning that the slightest hint of deception will be detected, he secretly assumes that denials in response to certain questions -- called "control" questions -- will be less than truthful. An example of a commonly used control question is, "Did you ever lie to get out of trouble?" The polygrapher steers the examinee into a denial by warning, for example, that anyone who would do so is the same kind of person who would commit the kind of behavior that is under investigation and then lie about it. But secretly, it is assumed that everyone has lied to get out of trouble. \n\nThe polygraph pens don't do a special dance when a person lies. The polygrapher scores the test by comparing physiological responses (breathing, blood pressure, heart, and perspiration rates) to these probable-lie control questions with reactions to relevant questions such as, "Did you ever commit an act of espionage against the United States?" (commonly asked in security screening). If the former reactions are greater, the examinee passes; if the latter are greater, he fails. If responses to both "control" and relevant questions are about the same, the result is deemed inconclusive. \n\nThe test also includes irrelevant questions such as, "Are the lights on in this room?" The polygrapher falsely explains that such questions provide a "baseline for truth," because the true answer is obvious. But in reality, they are not scored at all! They merely serve as buffers between pairs of relevant and "control" questions. \n\nThe simplistic methodology used in polygraph testing has no grounding in the scientific method: it is no more scientific than astrology or tarot cards. Government agencies value it because people who don't realize it's a fraud sometimes make damaging admissions. But as a result of reliance on this voodoo science, the truthful are often falsely branded as liars while the deceptive pass through. \n\nPerversely, the "test" is inherently biased against the truthful, because the more honestly one answers the "control" questions, and as a consequence feels less stress when answering them, the more likely one is to fail. Conversely, liars can beat the test by covertly augmenting their physiological reactions to the "control" questions. This can be done, for example, by doing mental arithmetic, thinking exciting thoughts, altering one's breathing pattern, or simply biting the side of the tongue. Truthful persons can also use these techniques to protect themselves against the risk of a false positive outcome. Although polygraphers fre

no not unless asked by the court.\nIf asked by the court and you lie, then you may be charged with perjury also.\nThats a big one!

Personally, I wouldn't pretend I was anything usually, but if there's money saving involved, sign me up!  I don't know if that's true or not - and I wouldn't do it unless I was positive.  Sorry I can't help more.  You may want to ask this also on the city pages (NY, or other cities in the area).\nHave a pleasant day.

I went for employment once and they sent me to get a polygraph (then it was the law for certain employment, but that law has now changed) and I took the test, and the guy reviewed it for 10 minutes and came back in and gave me the results.  So your answer is yes, they could give them to you before you leave.

polygraphs are not allowed to be used in any US courts for criminal charges,  they have never been proven to be reliable.\n\n( although all police departments require them as part of the hireing procedure)\n\nthe aging programs only work assuming no serious illness, average weight gain,  and other factors,  one could change slightly a varible or two and the photo can change.  But it can be a close idea that is still better than none

Try calling the New York Immigration Coalition and see if they can take your case.

In the State of Florida there are certain requirements before you can be trained as a Police Officer. Applicants go thru a prolonged application process by a Testing Center in co-operation with the Criminal Justice Commision. Not only does the Officer Canadate have to pass a thourough investigation, but show that he/she does not have any issues in life pertaining to moral conduct. For example, if someone applies but they have a bunch of unpaid speeding tickets, they will not become a Police Officer; if they have unpaid child support, have committed a felony (detected or non-detected) even if you have'nt been caught for it. Before an Agency hires an applicant they use the polygraph machine;a lie detector. They also face a board of commanding Police Officers to test your judgement skills and knowledge. And yes there are some who make it thru because of thier charm or who they know, but are later on weeded out. Hope this answers your question.\n\nJohn\nCriminal Justice Student

The U.S. Supreme Court found polygraphs to be unreliable. In an 8-1 vote, it decided in 1998 that lie-detector results CAN be banned from trials; however, STATES are allowed to set their own policies. \n\nVirginia does ban them BUT, employees of police departments, sheriff's departments and jails currently are the only government employees who can be forced to take a lie detector test. There was a bill offered in the state legislature about 5 or six years ago.......I am not sure if it became law (it did pass in the Lower House) to provide the same protection to these employees that ANYONE else in the state has with regard to polygraphs as evidence at a trial.\nHope this helps
