Polygraph Testing

[susan]

Hi april  yes people do live like that they don't know any different and the sad thing their children will just grow up the same and on and on.  Very sad I think.

Hi, both of you. Great posts which beg the question, do people really live these kinds of lives. The sad answer is, yes, they do, much of the reason being that their parents and maybe, grandparents demonstrated it to them and they know no other way of being. When I was training, it was suggested to us that if we wanted to witness dysfunctional at work we should watch "Eastenders." My late beloved, who was always right!!!!!, was very sniffy about it, said people couldn't possibly live like that. He certainly got that wrong.

April, I think all the drug taking really causes all sorts of problems for the young people who get involved with that life.  Half of them suffer from paranoa and psychosis, what a waste of lives and I agree the poor children just don't stand a chance.

Pinched from another thread:

Heard an interview with an ex Scotland Yard detective who said that if they were suspicious enough to take the dogs in on Wednesday, they should have done a full house search at the time. He also said that we are the only country NOT to employ the use of polygraph testing when doing interviews and pointed out that social services now made use of them, as did Jeremy Kyle, for entertainment purposes.

Interesting.

Paddy Conroy has just passed a polygraph test carried out by Terry Mullins.  It will be featured on a tv program. Paddy was inside with JB in the mid 90's.  He also reckons Mullins has been over to Russia to test the man accused of poisoning somebody over here.

That's right,nuggs,,and a refusal would spell guilt too.

Seems the state supports lie detectors which work in its favour but totally against them where there's a possibility that it may work against the Establishent.

Now that would be interesting,Maggie.

and it seems they can declare someone guilty of crime because they failed one but passing dosent count for anything.

Yes,,I can quite understand that.

Laws might change though, it this proves successful. If it does then others might use and who knows even the courts might adopt it....Then if they do, it new submissions to the CCRC by way of new legal argument...Lets hope it gets pished....

well no doubt everybody who fails that test will be accused of benefit fraud but will the people who pass be in the clear and not accused of it again i very much doubt it.
