A little over a month ago there were some DVD's stolen from work, I have been the most contacted staff by the police, they have shown up at my house unannounced and even recorded me on a tape recorder in my own home without my permission, I was being very cooperative and answering all there questions without argument, now they want me to take a polygraph to "rule me out as a suspect".



Get an attorney and have NO FURTHER contact with the police. Tell them to talk to your attorney. Unless you have been FORMALLY CHARGED, and since you have already answered their questions. you no longer have to give them the time the day.



"Eliminate you as a suspect"? We had a cop post here about a month ago that that is just what they say. What they are really after is interrogating you under duress WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY PRESENT, in an attempt to force a confession out of you.



Bottom line, it is in your best interest to:



1. Contact an attorney.



2. Have no contact whatsoever with the police until you do.



3. Realize that the top scientific body in the country came to the conclusion that the polygraph has NO scientific validity, and 95% of what you hear from TV, polygraphers, Police is bullshit!



4. Realize you are innocent until proven guilty, and that the authorities have to either "put up" or "shut up". Charge you, and produce the evidence. You don't have to "eliminate yourself as a suspect". That is THEIR JOB! If they accuse you of being afraid and probably "hiding something", tell them you are NOW perfectly aware of why they use the polygraph, and that it is not a valid, nor realiable test.
