If Im accused of a crime, should I take a police polygraph examination?
It is always recommended that if anyone is accused of a crime they seek counsel first and then at that point determine whether they are going to take their own private police polygraph examination through an examiner picked by the defense attorney prior to submitting the potential defendant to the police polygraph examiner. However, another effective way of monitoring a police polygraph is to request your examiner to be able to peer review the police polygraph examination and/or the video tape of the police polygraph examination. Most defense attorneys will opt to test the subject prior to submitting to law enforcement, just to make certain the polygraph subjects claims of innocence are indeed true before he makes those statements to law enforcement.
