Dang, i flubbed the verification code. So one more time. Thanks for the advice, I believe I will follow it. Now I'm mad. How did I get tied into this BS? When I asked the officer at the first interview, he wouldn't tell me. Do I have a right to know who my accuser is? I may still go talk to a lawyer, or at least do some more research myself to find out what my rights are here in Canada.
The RCMP do not have a very good reputation here, frankly they scare the crap out of me. After watching them kill that guy in the Vancouver airport, all the stalling to stop the video from getting out and then the courts letting them off the hook,  I lost all respect for them. And that's just the most famous one recently. Its been scandal after scandal. I guess you can't believe your lying eyes. Oh ya, before i go, check out this link, it seems law enforcement types don't even buy into this polygraph garbage. They think its funny.   http://forums.blueline.ca/viewtopic.php?f=19&p=357814

Thanks for the above link.  

A very interesting thread of LE types talking truthfully about the polygraph.  Saying the same thing I've been saying on this board, but polygraphers have repeatedly denied.  Namely, that polygraphers ROUTINELY MISREPRESENT polygraph accuracy and tell examinees it's purpose is to test their truthfulness, when it is actually just used a way of legally interrogating a suspect under duress without an attorney present!

Refer the above link to the RCMP gents who are trying to get you to take the polygraph.

You're not a lone man. I came across unfortunate experience with San Diego Police Poly test last year. I asked the examiner how I was doing, but he said, I did alright at the first time. Then in few days, I received a letter that I was rejected. I had no idea whether it was about the test or something else. I called many times to find out why I was being rejected, but never find the person in charge of my file.

I think something big going on not only with polygraphy test, but the entire department of justice has a lot of discrimination. Because they complicated the application process like hell. One may pass the poly test, but you can still be rejected with simple things like credit backgrounds, psysical test, or something else. That is very stressfull for someone wh really want to be a law enforcement officer.

I am very sorry for your history, but I believe the answers from other fellows can help you get to where you wanted to be.
