d. Polygraphs are not admissible in court but a prosecutor will use your failure to charge you, even if they have NO OTHER EVIDENCE verifying your accuser’s story. Many people are pressured into confessing - yes, even innocent people - after a cop tells them that they have failed the test, and that the machine doesn’t lie. Never talk to police.

How it works:

polygrapher scores the test by comparing physiological responses (breathing, blood pressure, heart, and perspiration rates) to these probable-lie control questions with reactions to relevant questions such as, “Did you ever commit an act of espionage against the United States?” (commonly asked in security screening). If the former reactions are greater, the examinee passes; if the latter are greater, he fails. If responses to both “control” and relevant questions are about the same, the result is deemed inconclusive.
