If they ever try and force me to do the eye test thing-ah-ma-bob, I am going to prepare for it before the test. I will simple do the Cheech and Chong “Up in Smoke” routine. My eyes will be so glazed over that they won’t read on the Rickter scale.

If they accuse me of being under the influence, I will cite the Native American act which states while on the reservation, we can partake in the Peyote. That is mostly used along the border towns as it is more of a Mexican tradition. HAHA

The algorithm can be set to various levels of sensitivity. That allows for human bias, and probably means low sensitivity for law enforcement and maximum sensitivity for sex offenders. According to a company representative, the system “uses an eye tracker to record changes in pupil size along with about 100 other factors, including how fast you read the question and how fast you answer.” What are those 100 factors and how are they weighted in the algorithm? Sounds like smoke and mirrors to me.

Wired magazine published a useful article in 2018. It is worth reading for anyone interested in the subject. https://www.wired.com/story/eye-scanning-lie-detector-polygraph-forging-a-dystopian-future/

Seems to me if you pass they do not want to bring it up. However if you fail, some prosecutors will sneak it into the conversation and then have it struck from the record. However, the jury cannot just erase what they heard from their memory drive.

Just odd that when I was a cop, everyone seemed to either catch a break on sentencing or get out of the charges completely. Then the one time I was accused of something, I somehow got the judge who sentenced Charles Manson.

And yet it is still inadmissable in Courts, go figure!!

It depends more on the administrator. Polygraph results are predetermined more often than not.

Facts should matter

I wonder what the total number of women was that had to die in the Salem witch trials before they realized they were all telling the truth. None of them were witches.

because anyone can claim the Fifth at anytime. Except registraints.

PROVE IT! Where is the independent, peer-reviewed data to support that whopper?

This is how they hoodwink the easily swayed public: “We should focus on false narratives instead of reality.”

I am sure that method is accurate and definitive for determining risk. Am I correct to presume that a man who has an erection upon seeing porn or nudity is deemed more likely to offend. What about those individuals with erectile dysfunction issues?
