The police may suggest you take the test\u00a0<br \/>\nto clear up any allegations against you,\u00a0\u00a0 but the truth is it carries risks for you. In Michigan, polygraph test results\u00a0<br \/>\naren&#39;t admissible in court.

Examiners may use emotional tactics\u00a0<br \/>\nto elicit information or confessions,\u00a0\u00a0 which can be used against you later. Remember that the examiner, who is\u00a0<br \/>\nusually a law enforcement officer himself,\u00a0\u00a0 is not your friend or ally. His goal is to gather\u00a0<br \/>\nevidence against you, not to clear your name. So protect your rights, and seek legal\u00a0<br \/>\nadvice before facing a polygraph test.. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CBfr-iuErmw\" target=\"_blank\">per YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you been asked to take\u00a0 a lie detector or polygraph\u00a0\u00a0 test by the police?
