Quote:Are you a polygrapher? If so, how many people have you falsely accused of being a rapist? How many people have you falsely accused of being a murderer? How many people have you falsely accused of being a drug user? How many people have you falsely accused of being a 'child pornography type'?
1st question = no
2nd-4th question = none
Quote:What sort of personal hell have these people undergone all because of your Messiah Complex, based on a travesty of a sham of a pseudo-science?
The people I'm talking about have already been convicted by a judge or court of law.
Quote:If people are rapists, murderers, drug users, or 'child pornography types', let The State-- on whose shoulders the burden of proof lies-- make its case in a court of law, whereupon a person who is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt by a jury of his peers may defend himself based on FACTS.
And as I just said, the state has already convicted these people. They are known rapists, murderers, drug users, or 'child pornography types'. I think you missed the point completely. But hey, if you condone rape, murder, incest, drug use, then good for you. I'm just glad you don't sit at my dinner table.
Quote:"But polygraph interrogations sometimes elicit confessions we might not have obtained otherwise..." you whine. A good stiff beating with a short truncheon or length of chain would probably elicit even more confessions. There was a time in this country when beatings were in fact administered by the police in hopes of gaining a confession. That's against the law now. Polygraphy is next. I urge you to hone job skills in other areas because YOUR CURRENT OCCUPATION IS TOAST.
Again let me stress, polygraphy is not my job, and I'm personally neither for nor against polygraph use. I (and let me stress this)
SUPPORT its use, because the government deems it neccesary. If you want to get rid of them, then the
burden is on you to do so.
