To arrest anyone, there must be probable cause.  A confession of a crime would perhaps be reasonable suspicion, but they would need to have corraborating evidence to arrest.  For example, if you are in the chair and they accuse you of molesting your children and you admit to such, they would likely need to go interview the children before arresting you.

If you have any serious issues such as this in your background, don't try to be a cop, we don't need you.  Assuming you don't though, tell the truth on the background info form, tell the truth in the poly, and see how it goes.  But, certainly don't admit to an criminal behavior that you didn't commit, just to try to please them.  Remember, they can't really tell if  you are lying, they can just make that presumption based on experience and the physiological readings of the machine.
