IF the 4 lead Ultrascribe Polygraph was that perfect why do not
our Military and CIA use it to weed out suspects believed to be
terrorists even if it will not stand up in a Court of Law?
Inconclusive means inconclusive. Positive Deception means
Deception and Truth means Truth... but the examiner and the
machine itself with 4 leads leaves too much room for error IMHO.
A special chair, set-up and specifics relative to drugs and
training must be known for the 4 lead unit.
As you read... we are recommending a multiple lead unit which
would tell you 12 times the information monitored and perhaps IF
it was foolproof then it would be accepted and used Worldwide!
The key is asking someone in their own language a set of
questions and getting a reading on the responses. Translators
are not necessary except for review of tape recordings which can
monitor question and readings like in a hospital. I personally
do not believe people cannot BEAT the 4 lead units with specific
training or drugs. Pathological liar would perhaps fly through
as telling the Truth when lying like a rug.
Anyone is capable of deception to the point their answers are
declared deceptive instead of ABSOLUTELY LYING! Ever been
nervous about a test? Pulse, Respiration, Temperature and
whatever FOURTH lead records could go haywire! Lying in a
critical care unit with heart and other monitors hooked up with
the cute adhesive contact or lead pads... now that says a lot
and diagnostics are so very far advanced it is reliable and
diagnosis can send one to surgery instantly with the proper
readings. Sorry if we do not think the Polygraph 4 lead is the
best thing since sliced bread TODAY when we need a foolproof
system which can be used by anyone in any language to determine
TRUTH OR LIE!
A wise law enforcement official once said... you do not beat the
POLYGRAPH necessarily but you can beat the examiner! The NEW
COMPUTERIZED 48 LEAD POLYGRAPH can be tested on any number of
Judges and Lawyers... perhaps then the Courts will allow it...
otherwise it remains not Legally accepted. Until then... we all
must wait and pray someone comes up with the PERFECT POLYGRAPH!
My years in law enforcement taught me a few facts which still
indicate the present system is not accepted by a Court of Law.
The FBI might use it... but still people get through the system.
The PERFECT POLYGRAPH 48 LEADS may be the answer... I do not
know!
