No. Although lie detectors seem credible, they can be often faked to produce response opposite to what you want. The lie detectors lack the hard evidence that normal court order can provide (such as blood stain, DNA analysis, etc) and relies solely on how stressed the person is. Even when you didn't commit the crime, extremely high level of stress can tick the lie detector. Similarly, even when you did commit the crime, low level of stress can fool the lie detector.
Some people say that lie detectors have a 99% chance of succeeding. It is that 1% that makes the people say "No, we don't want it."

Where can you take your boyfriend to take a lie detector test in Los Angeles?
Lie detector tests are not 100 percentage accurate and therefore not even admissible in a court of law. An individual just does not walk in and expect to have their boyfriend given a lie detector test because you feel he is cheating on you and it is only use by law enforcement. You would have more luck not harassing him about cheating; let a few days pass and then with a friend follow him to see what he is up too and perhaps catch him in the act.

These tests performed privately are not at the behest of a court order and lack they just lack the sample documentation that would allow them to be admissible in a paternity case and hence not considered as being validated. These tests are usually referred to as curiosity paternity tests and are done at the request of the consenting parties.

Can you use a lie detector in a UK court?
No. Although some American jurisdictions put some weight on "lie detector tests" it generally falls into the category of "only in America". A significantly high proportion of the scientific community believe polygraphs have no value. They are not admissible in some US states. In the UK they are regarded as being as reliable as palm reading or seances - British courts require hard probative evidence whether in their civil or criminal jurisdictions. In Australia (same legal system as Britain), they are regarded as a joke. There is no way of telling whether a person is telling the truth or lying (although if I am being truthful, I become flustered & act incredibly guilty). Am qualified solicitor. Have read a good deal on the subject since my Law School Years (where they were also regarded as a joke).
