Always Assumed to be a liar?

LVMPD POLYGRAPH TEST First Round
I am already involved in Public Service.  I am a Fire Fighter.  I have decided to switch to law enforcement and this was my first experience with this type of test.  I ranked in the top 5% of my test group for the oral board,written,and video exams.  There were 400 in my test block.

I have never researched this subject before undergoing my first poly.  Now I find that the experience I had was not unique and is actually eerily similiar to others I have read about recently.  I was accused of not following instructions.  Apparently my disobedience involved the manner in which I was breathing.  First--I was breathing too slow. Second--I was breathing too fast.  From what I have read this is a clasic scenario.  Another similarity involved the question of illegal drug use within the last 3 years.  I was told that I was being intentionally deceptive.  I swear on my dead Father's grave that I have not used any illegal substance since 1995.  I smoked weed a few times in college between 1993 and 1995.  The tester told me that I was being untruthful and questioned me about what I was thinking when the question was asked.  I was actually singing 'hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle' in my head. But, I did not want to tell the tester that!  I was told I had failed and was untestable due to my unwillingness to follow instructions to breath in a normal manner.  I also was told that I moved to much. So anyway---breathing effects your test and you most likely will be accussed of lying about either your sexual history or your drug usage.  Good luck.

Wow, that polygrapher must hve been sharp to detect those"breathing countermeasures"  and to be certain enough to fail you.  Sounds like someone needs to call that examiner and see if they may be up to the countermeasure challange if he or she thinks they are sharp enough at it to screw up someone's potential offer of employment...............
