I mean, unironically, this is what polygraphs exist to accomplish. They aren’t reliable instruments and a lot of the “results” boil down to a technician trying to figure out if your heart rate increase or sweaty palms are a result of you lying or the AC in the room not running properly.
By the time someone’s decided to strap you into a ploygraph machine, you’re already “guilty” in their eyes. They’re just looking for an excuse to slam the book on you.
How do you get accurate polygraph results when the subject is laughing the entire time?
It’s about intimidation, not results.

But if anyone knows that already, it’s FBI staff.
There is no such thing as accurate polygraph results regardless of the circumstances. They’re pseudo-science baloney.
Right? If any group would know and understand that polygraphs are bullshit, it’s fucking FBI employeees
