3 of my 4 FBI polygraphers told me that George has confessed to lying about things and that this is a matter of record. so it seems he is quite legendary in at least FBI circles

If anyone has read the personal statement of “Police Sergeant” on the home page of this web site, you would have seen that it was also reported to my agency that I had confessed to lying.  In my situation they were told I confessed to lying about stealing army equipment.  It simply wasn’t true, but the report was twisted around enough so it sounded plausible.  I didn’t get that job.  A “confession” in a polygraph examination is not always what a reasonable person would deem a confession in any other setting.

Needless to say, hearing that FBI polygraph examiners believe George confessed to lying doesn’t mean a whole lot to me.

Even if George lied on every single answer that doesn’t change the basic accuracy of the polygraph; I know from my own experience that the polygraph is inaccurate to the point of uselessness.  When the polygraph community answers questions about their profession with personal attacks they discredit themselves as well as their side of the argument.

If Congressman had any balls whatsoever, they'd (in an undercover capacity of course) apply for a job that required a Polygraph.  If all 535 did this, I'm sure we'd see some traction.

Hi there..!!!

After reading the whole article:

http://antipolygraph.org/statements/statement-003.shtml

I can only say that I'm very impress with George qualifications..!!! He's a real asset for the INTEL community.

If the FBI founds any deceptions/lies in anyones exam, why not conduct a deeper BI...??? In the case of the drug questions, if they found "deception" Why they do not conduct a Urine/Blood analisys...??? 

I was also checking the web site of this Jacko Trimarco http://www.jacktrimarco.com/ ; what a poser...!!!!

He must be ashame of being such a liar and now profiting of his lie-machine...!!!


I think the FBI is a great agency but jokers like this Trimarco guy and all the other Polygraphers give the agency a bad reputation. Pitty.....

In 1992 I was accused of stealing $600 cash from The Lane County Custody Referee's Office. I didn't do it, but someone did. I eagerly took a polygraph test to clear myself and to encourage the detectives to find the real thief. Well, I flunked. I hired an independant tester and he told me to never take a polygraph again. During this entire crisis, I was hysterical, not a good test subject. I lost my job, my career and my future in the justice system because of this horrible experience. I've never gotten over it because they never arrrested the person who did this to me in the first place. I was never trusted again and I was so tramatized, I never took a job that involved handling money for fear of being framed again.
It's been 16 years now. I plan on taking another polygraph test just to see if it will work now that time has calmed me down.
This experience changed the course of my life in so many ways, I cannot begin to explain it all here. Besides it's still too painful. 
I feel compassion for all people who have been falsely accused.
Thank you for this chat. It helps to know I'm not alone.

Personally, I never trust anyone with divergent left eye syndrome.

Hello All,

Just to throw in my two cents, I posted my own polygraph experience on another thread ONLY because I did not understand the result.  I had no intention of being deceptive, nor was I deceptive, yet was told I failed.  I have no idea why.  I came here looking for answers after the fact, primarily because as a former LEO it bothers me when my integrity gets questioned, made worse by the fact I am accused of being a liar by someone who is either themselves lying, or is an idiot with a bunch of squiggles on a chart interpreted as lying, either way preventing me from currently being employed at an agency when otherwise I am well qualified to work there.

In my case, I've been through a police BI before including a polygraph.  I passed.  I was not concerned or worried about taking a polygraph.  I figured they are pretty accurate, even if not scientifically worthy to use in court.   

The food for thought here is:
1) Why would I have taken a polygraph if I thought I would fail?
2) Having been through the backgrounds process before, why would I have intentionally concealed or lied about something KNOWING I would get polygraphed on it?
3) If I had lied and gotten caught, why wouldn't I have just slipped back into the ether and gone "oh well"?

Since attacks against my integrity and credibility bother me, I came here seeking answers.  I've actually received some good information from people on these forums, including some from a guy claiming to be a polygraph examiner, informing me that the way they conducted my test was the wrong way to do it.  He even advised me on how to file complaints.

I'm not saying every polygraph chart is wrong, or every polygraph examiner is bad, but something seriously went wrong with mine.  A test conducted improperly, had very real negative implications on my life.  That is why I'm here learning and talking about it.

It is very sad yet oddly comforting to know I am not the only one this has happened to.  I can also assure all of you, that since I started asking around, there is at least ten more people like me floating around just in my circle of acquaintances.  If this polygraph test really works then freaking fix it so it doesn't keep destroying people, or let it go, because if it doesn't really work then you guys need to get real jobs and stop screwing with mine.
