I sure hope this leads to other court cases. It’s time to stop giving power to employers to fire someone just because of their offense. I pray he wins.

It feels as if things are moving backwards with every article I read from FAC. It’s getting so tiresome and frustrating.

FresNO!

Yea I know, I’ve read some of your other postings. I’m sorry brother. Stay strong and keep fighting the good fight. Just remember this life is temporary. We have a Kingdom prepared for us!

Slight correction. Polygraphs are bullshit machines based on pseudo-science. They simply measure a few biometrics that have absolutely nothing to do with honesty. There is nothing in science or medicine that holds that those biometric readings have to match or be within a certain range when honest or deceptive. Beyond that, biometrics will be different not only among individuals, but the same person giving the same answers to the same questions will likely have different readings from one day to the next.

No end

Yes sir, I have lived in Florida since 1979, when we moved here, I was 14. In my 20s when arrested, I was in my 40s when I got let go of that job. I am now in my 60s. My crime was way back in 1991. But still felling the affects all these years later on a never-ending registry that keeps on giving, but not in a good way.
By the way I am disabled now and cannot work.

I have taken over 15 polygraphs in my life. Some I passed, some I failed. Some I failed when I knew I was being honest, other times I purposely lied to test the system, and I passed. Polygraphs are not accurate do to so many reasons I cannot mention them all. But a few are being nervous that you think you are going to fail, having a heart issue like murmurs or palpitations.

Once time I applied for a high level position in the security sector (way before I had ever gotten into trouble. They said I failed due to cocaine use, but that was a lie as the polygrapher never once mentioned cocaine use, only pot which I agreed I tried once when I was 14.

If you rely your life or freedom on a polygraph, you have another thing coming. Some officers, if they do not like the results, tend to just make something up, which could lead to false convictions. Sad but true. Luckily the very last polygraph I took that would have changed my fate, I was told by my lawyer that I passed with flying colors. I still hate taking them though. What was odd, my probation officer never made me take one during my entire probation. The last one I took and passed was in prison because they tried to pin more charges on me that were false.

Same fear. The person who is friends with you today may suddenly not associate with you tomorrow.
