The police have a wide range of tools at their disposal for pursuing an arrest. In major cases, they often rely on the use of polygraph examinations in an effort to elicit a confession. Also known as a lie detector test, the use of these examinations is controversial given the high chances of false positives. 

If you are under suspicion of a crime, you should never agree to a polygraph examination without first speaking to an attorney. In many cases, agreeing to these tests will only work against you. These examinations are unscientific, to the point that their results cannot be used at trial. 

That said, there can be times when agreeing to a polygraph examination might be in your best interest. The best way to determine if this approach is a good idea is by relying on the guidance of your attorney. Attorney David G. Moore could advise you on how best to proceed.
