Sex offenders face mandatory lie detector tests

Sensible idea,so sensible in fact all parties in sexual accusations should submit to one before the investigation goes any further.

Thank you for this SE - I begged to take a Lie Detector Test but was told they were so unreliable they would not be allowed as evidence in court.

Has the technology changed? Or just the morality? Or are they STILL not allowed in court, in which case is this just another government/media smokescreen to make it look as though they are doing something where they are simply grabbing tabloid headlines?

I know what I guess.

Wankers.

idiotic idea and as soon as "sex offenders" learn to monitor their heart rate to defeat the machine..easy.. it will end in tears.\

wankers indeed.

Routine lie-detect tests for routinely LYING cops anyone ?

Honesty doesn't get you compensation!

Even Jeremy Kyle says his lie detectors are between 95 and 99% correct. To me the chance of 1 to 5 out of 100 being incorrect is far too high.
