Well, thanks for belittling not only my experience, but the police and my business for trying to solve the case. First of all, you cannot lay charges and then convict solely on polygraph. In Canada, it's inadmissable. So there.
This is one of those few times where I thought I knew about something and I was completely fucking wrong. Everybody who says they can beat it is a moron.
The test isn't the polygraph. The test begins as soon as you walk in the door and it ends when you walk out the door. The cop isn't just trained to read the machine; he's reading you. It's not the machine that says you're lying; you say you're lying.
Sorry to be snippy, Kay, but you don't know what you're talking about. Only those who have taken the polygraph know how fucking stressful it is. Everything else is purely hypothetical.
Woah! I obviously said something wrong there... I wasn't belittling you, your experience, the police, or your business, and I know you can't convict on a polygraph. I don't know why you thought I was belittling you. It sounded like a nasty and error-prone business to me, and that's what I tried to say. I certainly didn't predict your reaction.
But, yes, you said the thread was for fellow polygraphees. Whatever. I admit my lack of experience, although I don't see why that should disbar me totally from comment. For what it's worth I know exactly what it's like having the police ask you nasty questions about things you didn't do, so I'm probably not as removed from empathy as you guess. |
