Removal of polygraph examinations from Law Enforcement Aplication Process
Published by scott butler on Mar 08, 2008
Target: Florida Law Enforcement Departments
Region: United States of America
Web site: http://antipolygraph.org/
Background (Preamble):
A list of legitimate scientific groups that have official statements condemning the polygraph is extensive.
It includes the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, the Federation of American Scientists, and the Society of Professional Scientists and Engineers.
Even most government officials who support the polygraph do not maintain that the process is valid. They merely claim that the polygraph should remain because it "encourages admissions."
This same convoluted logic could also be used to defend physical beatings if they were a part of the hiring process.
