Not legally.
Additional: The police cannot lie about the circumstances in order to arrest you - HOWEVER - If you are undergoing interrogation the police are under no requirement to tell you the truth about what they know.
Prosecutors lie all the time to get convictions, much like law enforcement officers. However, it is ethically imperative that they state only truth. The problem becomes proving a lie spoken by a prosecutor, and successfully seeking justice against those who do lie.
There is nothing you can do. The US Supreme Court has ruled that law enforcement officials are allowed to lie to people during the course of their investigation.
It is legal for a law enforcement officer or government agent to lie to a suspect to obtain information or some advantage. It is not ethical to do so.
Lie detectors, or polygraph machines as they're more officially known, are large contraptions that are filled with buttons, levers, paper, and measuring devices. They have been used for years in law enforcement to detect whether or not someone is actually lying to officials. The reason why people would lie to law enforcement officials is obvious - they committed a crime that they don't want to get caught for. Lie detectors can help solve this problem by asking a person who's strapped to a lie detector several questions and then analyzing the results. However, lie detectors still aren't permissible in court. This means that should a person fail a lie detector, they will not be able to be proven as lying in a court of law. And likewise, a person will not be able to use the results of a lie detector test to prove that they are telling the truth. This is because lie detectors can't actually detect if a person is lying. They can only tell if the person is displaying deceptive behaviour.
No. Not the sole results of the polygraph. However, they can be used by law enforcement as an investigative tool. The results that are produced by those interviews, if investigation substantiates them, ARE admissable.
Individuals with a condition known as Pseudologia fantastica, or pathological lying, may have difficulty controlling their urge to lie. However, some people believe that children below a certain age or individuals with certain neurological conditions may lack the capacity to lie.
If the question is being asked of you during a traffic stop or in the course of some type of investigation, no, you cannot. In some places the statute is called, "Giving false information to law enforcement," and is a misdemeanor.
In unincorporated areas of a county, law enforcement is typically provided by the county sheriff's department or a county police department. These agencies are responsible for patrolling and ensuring public safety in regions that are not within the jurisdiction of any city or town. Additionally, local government may sometimes contract with other law enforcement agencies for specific services in these areas.
Lie detector tests are not 100% accurate and although given by law they are not admissibly in a court of law and using a lie detector is not used for public use; therefore it would not make any point for your wife to take a lie detector test. Hypothetically, if your wife did cheat she would probably decline taking the test.
Full truth? No. Not until we have several politicians and law enforcement officers in court, answering some hard questions. A Noble Lie just asks the questions.
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.
yeah, if its a BIG lie
