I don’t mind taking a polygraph. I pass it every time. My complaint is that passing it means nothing to probation other than a ‘check in the block’.

It basically compares them to gypsies reading astrology charts and tea leaf readers. Basically called it 20th century witchcraft. So true. I failed my last one because quote, “my breathing was below the normal level.” Well duhhhh. It was 2 pm in the afternoon and I was damn near about to fall asleep in the chair. So ridiculous. And that guy does 3 tests a day at $200 a pop. Keep doing the math and it comes out to $3000 a week!!!!! So yes, that equates to $12000 a month. But wait, which ends up being $144,000 a year!!!! The polygraph witch doctors make as much as medical doctors. Insane.

That is a GREAT comeback. I love it. And so true.

Case in point. The detective that was over my Craigslist sting, was arrested in 2016 for molesting 3 eight year-old boys. No doubt as a result of using all those pics for his stings over the years. I feel like writing him a letter in prison and asking him if all those federal dollars he received for running those stings was worth it now. LOL.

JZ, you must remember that law enforcement folks are so far above evil that they are not affected by child porn. No wait, what about the FDLE investigator who just got reservations at the ‘cross bar hotel’ or the 15 year vet cop who just got charged with molestation of a family member? Seems we may have the inmates in charge of the institution. We must remember that we are all human and can go though events or phases in our lives that take us out of character. The sooner our ‘leaders’ accept that and make forgiveness a viable option the better our society will be. There is no value in making citizens permanent criminals as many of our laws do today.

Appalling! Law enforcement can “consume” all the child porn they want because they are posting most of it!

Here’s a good example from Colorado. https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/contact7/colorado-governor-vetoes-bill-that-banned-conflicts-of-interest-on-sex-offender-management-board

There are some excellent comments here. Great food for thought.

It is an utter joke, complete waste of time and money and it is no wonder their inadmissible in many courts, and especially Federal courts.

My old treatment provider always claimed that viewing CP re-victimizes the person depicted every time it’s viewed. I asked why that reasoning didn’t apply to the federal agents and prosecutors and/or their state counterparts when they chose those videos for their stings. Never got an answer – shocking, huh?

What a joke. Completely subjective and in control of the moron conducting the test. When is this country going to wake up? Most likely never.

The lie detector is as applied a tool of interrogation and NOT a means at truth.
