Lie Detectors
FOXNews.com - U.S. & World - Cops Clear Idaho 'Person of Interest': "? Investigators cleared a man they called a 'person of interest' in the bloody murders of three people and the disappearance of two children after the man passed a lie detector test. "
Lie detector tests -- I routinely advise my clients not to take them. The cops only ask for one when they don't have any real evidence. I have no faith in lie detectors and failing the test will only make the cops try harder to link them to the crime. But if they don't take the test, the cops harass them for a while and then move on. Such is my limited experience with the issue. Does anyone advise taking the lie detector test? What situations?
