I don't know about UK law, but in the US it would be a violation of constitutional rights and in order to be able to overstep those rights legally, the police have to have a just cause for doing so or risk getting sued, fired, etc.
Your idea is a good one. Too bad we can't implement it here.

They are not 99.9 percent right, I think you have that mixed up with DNA testing. Lie detector test can be wrong if a person is taking medications, illegal drugs, have heart problem, high blood pressure, breathing problems etc... , so no, they are not correct. Why give law enforcement a tool to railroad someone, when they even know them self, that lie detector test are NOT accurate. Also a person has a right to refuse to take one, at least in the US anyway. Actually they do not prove nothing. Best way to feel safe in street and home is have government to let law obeying citizen bear arms, this way, you have a chance to defend yourself. When guns are outlawed, only criminals will have guns.

Lie detector evidence is not admissible in court in the United States. People who are pathological liars can often beat the test. Often false results are shown when people are under a lot of stress.
Many police departments in the US use lie detector tests to eliminate suspects so that they can go on pursuing other lines of investigation.

Thankfully the Police do not make laws, they try to enforce them.
A lie detevctor is 100% accurate in detecting stress and therefore stress can be trained out. I would be quite stressed if I was being questioned for something I did not do, so at best it is only an indication

Lie detectors are not 100% accurate.. and the law insists evidence is 100% factual beyond reasonable doubt

Lie detectors are nowhere near 99% accurate, and can easily be beaten by employing a few simple techniques.

because that machine measures stress patterns in the voice, which in most cases would indicate you are lying. However most people would be rather stressed if being accused of murder. so it can't be proved that a lie detector is accurate

The police do not make the laws they are only there to administer the laws which our wonderful politicians dream up
I think individual police officers must get so frustrated at how criminals laugh at their inability to be able to lock them up .

Most people are horrid liars to begin with.
Most good detectives can tell when someone is lying to begin with...unless they've trained them self in the art of decepting interrogation.
