Dali, Are you sure you are not leaving more out of this than you are letting on? Either way, my best advice is to get a lawyer and seek his/her legal counsel in the matter.

Dali,

You don't have to take the polygraph. Persons suspected of a crime are under no legal obligation to submit to a polygraph "test," and you would be wise to refuse. Polygraph "testing" has no scientific basis. The main purpose of the "test" is to get you into a room with an interrogator in the absence of legal counsel.

You are not legally obligated to prove your innocence. If a prosecutor wants to charge you with a crime, he/she needs to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

For more information about polygraphy, and to better understand why it would be unwise to agree to a polygraph interrogation, see, The Lie Behind the Lie Detector (especially Chapter 3).

I suggest that you speak with a lawyer about your situation and not allow yourself to be further questioned without legal counsel present.

I was just informed that I must take a polygraph test to prove myself innocent of a crime that has no witnesses and no positive time of occurance.

Why am I a suspect?
Because I slammed the door in someone's face and then about two months later, they had 1600$ worth of damage done to their car.

I want to know how they have a case against me and if I should take a polygraph to prove my innocence. It is hear say really, and shouldn't the occuser have to submit to one as well?
