When I was first told I would have to take one, I was ok with it, b/c I have nothing to hide, but then started worrying more and more since I've heard so much negative, and so went online to see what kinds of questions they would ask, etc.... https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1225538847/25#25 2009-05-28T08:30:00+02:00 The site had included, among other things, complaints about Grogan from former customers, an article critical of his appearance in a pornographic video, and California Department of Consumer Affairs documentation of a complaint that in 2002 resulted in the revocation of Mr. Grogan's private investigator license, private patrol operator license, baton permit, and firearm permit as well as an order to pay $21,800 for the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services's investigation and prosecution costs. https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1237668302/13#13 2009-05-26T11:21:00+02:00 AntiPolygraph.org has reason to believe that recent posts in the message thread "Why do I have to do anything?" by David Hume (the thread starter, purporting to be a curious newcomer to this site), Kim Jong Il (questioning why David Hume was banned), and S Price (bemoaning AntiPolygraph.org's moderation policy) are all the handiwork of E.B. Van Arsdale. https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1242275233 2009-05-14T06:38:00+02:00 The poster LieBabyCryBaby has been banned. The decision to ban him from these forums comes after a long string of abusive posting. In his own words: "I come around every now and then to ruffle your feathers and laugh at you, and then I find other entertainment." At this time, we feel it is appropriate to disclose LieBabyCryBaby's true identity: Special Agent Shawn Hacking of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), currently assigned to DEA's Seattle Division. https://antipolygraph.org/blog/?p=310 2009-04-11T11:15:00+02:00 Congressional Quarterly National Security editor Jeff Stein proposes that CIA polygraphers -- who "claim to be able to read the inner thoughts" of others -- should themselves "undergo regular psychiatric tests." https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1239165468 2009-04-08T12:25:00+02:00 This involves two individuals, one the accuser and the other the accused. Since an arrest and arraignment of the accused, almost 4 months ago, a pre conference hearing and a pre evidence hearing have been rescheduled by the prosecution. The accusor claims he was assaulted in an unwarranted attack. The accused has no idea where the accusation came from and has repeatedly denied any altercation or confrontation ever took place. The prosecution contacted the defense attorney offering a polygraph to be conducted between both individuals because neither story corroberates the other. The accused accepted with the belief that finally he had an opportunity to prove he was telling the truth when he says there was no incident involving him and this man. The polygraph offer was with stipulations that the regardless of the results they would be used in court,and that the cost was to be self paid. There was no offer or guarantee of charges being dropped if the accused passed a polygraph. The day of the test, the accused took his test (the accuser took his a few hours before) and was told the examiner had one more test that day and then the results would be scored and charted, probably later that afternoon. A few hours later my friend received a call from his attorney saying he failed the test. He was told both had shown deception however his degree of deception was higher than his accuser. After a week or so the defense attorney finally recieved the report which was merely a one sentence statement that stated something along the lines of, a comparative analysis of the computer polygraph algorithm of the 2 relevant questions shows a response that indicates deception in the accused. Has anyone ever heard of this type or test or procedure? Does this method seem to be fair? If my friend had been more educated on polygraphs and what exactly causes these responses that are said to be deception he would never have taken this test. False accusations out of nowhere, arrested and charged with a crime, loss of his job, facing a trial and being asked to prove yourself with a polygraph is enough stress and emotion beyond control to not expect some type of reaction or response when asked anything related to what has caused so much grief in your life. He was also told that an examiner can tell the difference between general nervous anxiety and deception. https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1238647399 2009-04-02T07:40:00+02:00 Until recently, I was an officer with a large sheriff's department in the southeast. I was called into IAD after a rumor surfaced in the jail that was supposedly started by a local known prostitute and whom I have had numerous runins with while working a sidejob at the bus station. This rumor was heard by a corrections officer and passed up the chain of command. That is when I was called into IAD. I was told that supposedly this prostitute had told a C.O. that I had picked her up and paid her for sex in the back of a cruiser while working at the bus station. She had not signed a complaint against me, and was unable to be located to be interviewed (how convenient!). I was read the Garrity Warning and signed a form that I had been advised and understood my rights under Garrity. I was asked and truthfully denied that I had ever had sexual contact with her or any other prostitute, never had sex in a county vehicle, in uniform, or while on duty. I advised the IAD Lt that I had been cursed and threatened by this crackhead prostitute on more occasions than I could count and that the only thing I could PROVE is that I had never used a cruiser while working at the bus station. He asked if I would submit to a "voluntary" polygraph and I immediately agreed. After all, I had been truthful and had nothing to hide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yimXw1QH2o 2009-03-30T12:22:00+02:00 The final episode of the science fiction series Battlestar Galactica features a flashback scene in which the lead character, Admiral Bill Adama (played by Edward James Olmos), angrily terminates a pre-employment polygraph examination... https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1237670544 2009-03-22T10:30:00+01:00 This one is REALLY long, but I need help. I was really left confused and don't know what to think. I took a polygraph exam for a law enforcement position a day ago and the whole situation was just odd, from start to finish. https://antipolygraph.org/cgi-bin/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1237668302 2009-03-22T10:10:00+01:00 After repeated violations of AntiPolygraph.org's posting policy under different guises, Ponca City, Oklahoma polygraph operator E.B.
