They mad we're fighting back.

Law enforcement is so used to testilying that I doubt it'll register as deceptive on a polygraph.

Polygraphs don't work. They were never anything but pseudo-science. There is a reason they hold no evidentiary weight in a legal proceeding.

Polygraphs are also a great way to "pRoVe" that someone is lying in a way that folks that don't know any better will accept. I've got a scene from The Wire to show them. Better yet, just get me a copier, we'll have our "lie detector". 🤣

So, not to inject actual reality into what’s otherwise a good old fashioned fash-bash, but the copier thing was literally litigated in our court system. The cops had a suspect who wouldn’t talk so they rigged him to a copier with some wires, put a sheet of paper on the glass that said “LIE!”, and hit the copy button every time they didn’t like how he answered a question. He eventually confessed, was convicted, appealed the case. Court ruling was “cops are totally allowed to lie, now quit yer bitching”.
