They aren't reliable instruments and a lot of the "results" boil down to a technician trying to figure out if your heart rate increase or sweaty palms are a result of you lying or the AC in the room not running properly. By the time someone's decided to strap you into a ploygraph machine, you're already "guilty" in their eyes. They're just looking for an excuse to slam the book on you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) But if anyone knows that already, it’s FBI staff. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 28 points 1 year ago* There is no such thing as accurate polygraph results regardless of the circumstances.
