FAQ
While there is no specific legislation in place regulating the use of polygraph tests, an employer can ask an employee to take one, but it must be voluntary (we'll go into more detail just now). However, no one can be forced to undergo a lie detector test, as it is against the Constitution.
With the exception of mental illness, drugs and medical conditions don't necessarily enable a person to beat a lie detector test. However, they do skew the results, making them less reliable.
You are never under any legal obligation to take a lie detector test in a criminal investigation. Even if police tell you the test is mandatory or they threaten you with arrest if you refuse to take one, you don't have to.
Since the Supreme Court has generally upheld the use of deceptive interrogation techniques, nearly all states still allow police to lie to suspects about the results of lie detector tests or the presence of them, in order to elicit a (sometimes false) confession.
No matter what tactics the police use against you, you are fully within your rights to refuse a polygraph test at any stage of the criminal justice process. If you ever find yourself in one of those dimly lit rooms, you should politely decline to participate until you've discussed the matter with a qualified attorney.
Neither you nor a counselor can force someone to be truthful. Many times, counselors guide couples to us for a polygraph test when they believe that one or both parties are refusing to fully disclose their behaviors.
Trained polygraph examiners administer lie detector tests for a fee. The typical cost is between $200 and $2,000. The specific cost usually increases with the length of the test. This means an all-day test will be on the high end of the cost range.
Polygraph test cannot be administered without obtaining the written consent of the accused person to whom it is to be administered, the Karnataka High Court ruled (Virendra Khanna v. State of Karnataka).
There have been several reviews of polygraph accuracy. They suggest that polygraphs are accurate between 80% and 90% of the time. This means polygraphs are far from foolproof, but better than the average person's ability to spot lies, which research suggests they can do around 55% of the time.
The results of a lie detector test are unreliable, and many innocent people have failed them. Even if you pass the test, this does not mean that you will not be charged with committing a crime. Not admissible.
