Why Polygraph Tests Are Not Admissible in Court

If you watch any TV show about true crimes or a drama, you’ll often see references to polygraph tests.

Given that the criminal justice system relies so heavily on people telling the truth, many people wonder why lie detectors are not used routinely in most cases.

However, in Texas as most states, polygraph results are not admissible in criminal trials.

Although polygraphs are also called lie detectors, in reality a polygraph machine does not have any reliable capacity for detecting the truth or falsity of a statement. The machines measure a person’s biological processes to determine if they are becoming stressed out during interrogations. Factors such as an increase in blood pressure or heart rate are measured. While these may be indicators that a person is lying, they may also simply indicate that a suspect is feeling pressurized by the interrogation even if they are telling the truth. Even if you ‘pass’ a polygraph test, it won’t help you in a criminal trial.

Can You Be Forced to Take a Polygraph Test?

Although police use polygraph tests less frequently than in the past, you might still be asked to take one after an arrest. Although psychological pressure may be provided by investigators, you do not have to take a polygraph test. Many people are not aware of their legal right to refuse.

If you refuse to take a polygraph test, some investigators may become more convinced that you are guilty. However, you are just asserting your legal rights and it won’t help you if you pass it, because the police may simply believe you have beat the test rather than being innocent.

This does not stop many investigators from requesting a lie detector test, often as part of a criminal investigation. There have been examples of interrogators seeking to convince defendants that the lie detector has shown results will be detrimental and they should confess.

Where Polygraph Tests Can be Used as Evidence

n Florida, California, Georgia and Nevada, polygraph tests can be used if everyone agrees to it but there are different opinions on the test’s accuracy. In California lawyers can present the results to the jurors and allow them to make up their minds. Georgia allows defendants who suffer due to a false result on a polygraph to sue the polygraph operator for damages. Florida is the only state that can require some defendants to take polygraph tests – previously convicted sex offenders in this case, although the test results can’t be used in court.

Defendants should always exercise care if they are asked to take a polygraph. You should never submit to an interview or a polygraph without first discussing your case with a Board Certified criminal defense lawyer.

It doesn't have to be for the standard of the one making the accusation having to provide support of it. However, those that oppose the confirmation have already decided it's true without one bit of evidence.

They opposed the nomination as soon (or before) he was named before they knew anything about him. Any additional information is just to justify a decision they already made.

I'm convinced liberals and conservatives wake up every day hoping to see terrible news so they can blame it on the other side.

This is not a criminal case. Nobody has to prove or disprove anything. One side is determined to confirm the nomination and the other is using anything it can find to stop confirmation.

You're welcome. Conservatives would do the same thing. They are already gearing up to smear the woman making the accusations like they did Anita Hill and like Democrats did to the women making accusations against Bill Clinton.

Ignore the issue and smear the person.

But Bill admitted to them, so how is this the same??

It is the same because they tried to deflect from the charge by smearing the women making the accusation.

Bill only admitted to consensual sex with Lewinsky and Flowers. He denied accusations by Kathleen Willey (groping), Paula Jones (exposing), Juanita Broaddrick (rape), and Leslie Millwee (sexual assault).

I would hope so for the sake of his credibility at the very least.

I have not read any articles on this, just snippets in threads. I'm waiting to see what comes of this. I don't give a shit about judges since both flavors suck anyway and either side will screw us when they need to. Like the Kelo decision. I'll never forget that one. Take someone's house with eminent domain and then turn around and let that developer buy it.

But don't liberals believe that's all that's needed, is an accusation??

Its worth a whole lot in the court of public opinion. So what do you say, if Kavanaugh has nothing to hide he should be happy to take a polygraph. Right?

really?......do you realize that one of the reasons polygraphs are banned in court is the expectation that some idiot will attempt to make the claim I just quoted?........
