I don't think lie detectors are 100% accurate.

A lie detector is not always accurate. There are many ways to beat a lie detector. It can be used as a tool to try to guide an investigation in the right direction. However, if we relied on lie detectors we would not need a legal system and it would be very flawed. Sometimes even the meaning of a question can be interpreted differently by the person asking the question versus the person asking the question. It is a lot more unreliable than people think.

Lie detectors are notoriously unreliable. If a person believes they are telling the truth it will not register as a lie. Also some people are pathological liars and a polygraph will never be able to distinguish the truth from a lie with these people. For some people a polygraph will indicate a lie even when they are tell the truth. For these and many other reasons polygraphs have never been used in a court of law.

A lie detector test results can be altered by the subject or the person administering the test. I have personally convinced a lie detector test that I was a mass murderer. I can't even step on a bug but I beat the test to prove a point. I like BBQ.

Twinkies are "creamy foods"...
Wal-Greens has some nifty $1 wafers that are fat free! And somewhat creamy!
Lie detectors can be fooled if the person "gets his mind right".
Mental reservations are another factor. A nervous tic or jittery-ness can nulify a test. Michael J Fox could abstain from medication and shake off all the sensors!

Judges are trusted to make the careful and educated decision of whether a type of science is proven enough to be allowed as evidence in the courtroom. In the case of lie-detector tests, there is sufficient doubt as to the accuracy such that judges have decided that the results cannot be allowed in as proof.

the foremost situation with a lie detector is that there is sufficient doubt of their skill to actual detect lies. whether a lie detector would be shown scientifically to be ninety 8% precise (which might look rather good), there continues to be a lifestyles like threat that it is not precise. This creates lifestyles like doubt interior the contraptions skill to detect a lie. In maximum courts, lie detector info is inadmissible via this quantity of lifestyles like doubt.

Because lie detectors are not 100% accurate.

while lie detectors are a good measure if a person is telling the truth they are not full proof, as such can not with stand a doubert test for the admission of scientific evidence into a court of law,

It's easy to fool a lie detector. Remember what George Costanza said, "It's not a lie if you believe it." A good motto for the right wing when they make excuses for the Bush Iraq fiasco.
