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).
they cost around £500-1500 but be careful there has been scientific evidence suggesting that at best there only 87% correct and possibly only 50% ie you'd be as good tossing a coin. a good body language book would help if you study it well apparantly body language rarely fails.
Sorry to burst your bubble but actaully, there is no such thing as a lie detector! What they use in jail is a machine that tells when your heart rate goes up. When you get nervous your heart pounds very fast, it basically detects that. So when you lie (unless you're a professional) your heart rate goes up and the machine detects it. You should use that!
Not contempt BUT - If they knowingly told a lie in court - whether under oath or not - that is 'perjury' or 'attempting to pervert the course of justice' which is punishable by imprisonment !
