It seems from the outset that the p/g examiner is an idiot. If you are indeed an epileptic, you will be
on prescribed meds - and all classes of epilepsy meds render the user to be an UNSUITABLE POLYGRAPH SUBJECT. Consult a psychiatrist and het him to write a letter to the court and your probation
officer.
Ask the polygraph examiner to produce a letter from the APA stating that epilepsy patients taking
xyz meds may be tested. That will be interesting.
If you are eplieptic - you are unsuitable.
If you take epilepsy meds - you are doubly unsuitable.
What a shambles. Not even Paledrivel would test you.
So how shuld i persue this..
my theripist already said there is no way i can take it..but the probation officer wont give yp on it..
should i go to the judge myself...
I think you really ought to consult with a lawyer regarding your legal options at this point. Not knowing your state's laws and procedures, or the terms of your probation, I don't think anyone here is in a position to advise you how best to proceed.
Hi George,
I smell a rat and we're the cheese.
Well i live in florida and therapy requiires it not probation...
but the probation officer is trying to push it..
thank you guys for all of your help
