depends. If you have a high blood pressure or something before u even start the test, it can be inaccurate. Also, if you believe its true, like with victims and captures, it might not be accurate. I was watching TRUtv, and this woman was camping w/her husband, and this man came to their campground, and all three became friends. The man wanted the husband's wife for himself, so he shot him. The woman didn't see the man kill him, but common sense told her he killed her husband. The man kept insisting that it was an accident, and took her up into the mountains, u know, kidapped her and raped her. For the woman, she doesn't want to believe shes alone in the wilderness with a man that killed her husband. It makes it easier on her to believe it was an accident. When the police suspected foul play, even though everyone involved said it was an accident, the when the woman took her lie detector test, she failed, and the man passed. In the end, forensic evidence prooved it was a murder, and the victim's wife had some sort of syndrome. What i am getting at is: Lie Detectors are useful, but shouldn't be left to decide the truth.

I'm sure there are cases where that has happened.
"Lie detector" tests are not infallible, but react to body reactions to stresses. Ask Bill Clinton if he cheated on his wife, and it might go off the charts because he has and his nervous about the consequences of answering truthfully. The tests are interpreted by individuals, as well, and as such another avenue of possible test failure is present.
The test results historically have not been admissible in court, either, so really what advantage is there to actually taking the test?

Yes, I know some people that get very nervous and the lie detector can give a false answer. I personally would not agree to one unless I talked to my attorney first.

I don't think so because if you are innocent then you have nothing for the lie detector to detect.

normally no but if you are intellegent then you would say no because you know prettywell that all these lie detector tests are not real and one who is purely innocent would be caught in this net.
