In Washington State you sign a stipulation to take a polygraph. What to do if you take 3 and pass, then take one with the police and do not pass. A stipulation is signed that the polygraph can be used against you. The records and charts are mailed to two other experts that say the test is inconclusive. A motion was set in court to have the test results thrown out, Judge says no. A motion to question the polygrapher, judge says no. I was under the impression I had the right to another test if it was inconclusive. I have found I have no rights at all. What cxan I do?
sailor6535,
Have you been charged with a crime at this point? If you have a copy of the stipulation agreement handy, could you say precisely to what you stipulated?
Though it says little specifically regarding polygraph issues, the manual The Criminal Justice System: A Survival Guide (http://www.cohen-iaria.com/survival_guide/SurvivalGuide.pdf) (208 kb PDF) by the lawfirm of Cohen & Iaria (http://www.cohen-iaria.com/) in Seattle, WA may be of interest.
