Hillary! as president?
Yes, by all means, get rid of the polygraph tests. We will just keep loading our jails with DemocRats.....
Imagine how different the world would be if we had a true, unbeatable lie detector. This would be the greatest invention in modern history.
Stuff was missing at work so my boss told me to take a polygraph.
The next day he said to bring it back.
Geez, can’t make up his mind!
I could never pass one with my weird heartbeat - I throw PVCs pretty often.(premature ventricular contraction)
A lie-detector “works” if the suspect taking the test believes it works and is intimidated into admitting guilt.
In reality, they are far from accurate.
Which is why the results of a polygraph test is admissible evidence in a criminal trial.
I was asked at one point in my life to take a polygraph test. I’m a degreed EE. I said that I would take the test ‘conditionally’. The guy asked what I meant by ‘conditionally’. I said, “Let me give to you a polygraph test and it will be impossible for you to tell the truth. I can show that the machine says that you are lying about your own name.” He backed off immediately. ;-)
If I was ever being investigated by the police and *knew* I wasn’t guilty I’d give them anything they wanted.Fingerprints...DNA...computers,etc,etc,etc.But I’d never take a lie detector because it’s basically junk science...no more valid than the global warming scam.
I had to take a pre-employment polygraph once and failed it even though I answered every question truthfully. I was intimidated by the whole process, including the operator. I was not offered the job.
I understand there are jobs where this is required. But if it’s not, do not ever subject yourself to a polygraph. It’s like speaking to a cop. No good will ever come from it.
I want Harry Reid on a lie detector and Nancy Pelosi and ask them if they use the “n” word or smoked dope.
Well everyone knows the #1 way to get away with lying is to be a Democrat.
I had to take one of those when I was in high school.
“Have you ever tried to touch my Daughter’s breast?”
“Ummmmm.....no.”
Zing!!!
“The machine says you’re lying.”
“OK. OK. Once. I tried to once.”
Zing!!!
“The machine says you’re lying again.”
“Boy it’s hot in here.”
“I suppose it is for lying sex fiends.”
“Well, your daughter is so beautiful.”
“Now, sex fiend, did you ever try to unbutton my Daughter’s shirt?”
“No Sir. I would never try that.”
Zing!!!
“Looks like the machine has caught you lying again.”
“Aren’t those machines usually hooked up to electricity? This looks like you holding a pen on a piece of paper.”
“I’ll ask the questions, sex fiend. Why were you so late getting my Daughter home last weekend?”
“Ummmmm.....we fell asleep at the drive in.”
Zing!!!
“Looks like you’re lying again.”
“Damnit.”
“Have you ever tried to get my Daughter to touch your.....member?”
“Member? I don’t belong to the Elks club.”
If it is the police, use the “conditionally” approach.
i.e. “I’ll take one if you do the same. My operator will ask you questions like ‘Have you ever tampered with or suppressed evidence’, ‘Have you ever taken anything from the evidence room’, ‘have you ever framed a person you knew was innocent’ “, etc.
Betcha they’d never ask you again.
Envision anight in prison, it does both
Simply don’t take one. It’s not good in a court of law. It’d be self incrimination if you don’t pass it.
This sort of advice has been all over the internet since there was one.
Its nothing new.
