Polygraph – implementation experience

Poligraph

It’s no secret that the materials of any criminal case is creativity. This is not mathematics, where two and two make four. Here you can pick up some arguments and reject others, in their own way to interpret others. But the court is not only important homespun truth, but evidence and convincing conclusions in a criminal case. Therefore, there is such a thing as winning or losing a process that he always carries an element of the game, match the defense and prosecution.

Of course, this has always declared the search for “objective truth.” But in fact, it’s much easier – running out dates, crushes heads, various circumstances, if not politics intervenes.

So sometimes operational staff not so much interested in the truth, but in the credibility of the allegations, which must be successfully completed to pass judgment and conviction. Not to mention the notorious fraud associated with tossing arms and drugs to extortion or blackmail.

Investigation on a polygraph, depending on the complexity can last 4-6 hours or more. Prior to this study the matter carefully formulated questions, their sequence. Polygraph itself – is an x-ray, which is still needed and professionals capable to understand those semitones, which highlights the device in the human soul. That is why from the training and experience of the operator depends on the success of the case.

Examination, depending on the complexity, not cheap, the cost varies from one to several hundred dollars.

They mainly concern is unclear points in the investigation, when not enough evidence. On the “toss” compromising we have said, here and add a refusal of the accused from his testimony at trial. All this is well resolved by the polygraph. And although, again, we emphasize not conducted examination in court, such studies are made very well and quite “pull” overwhelming evidence.

Polygraph – kinda referee in obscure and confusing contest between the prosecution and the defense. It acts as a sort of a jury that a verdict: guilty or innocent defendant. But unlike them, he does not rely on intuition and objective data on the mental and physical condition of the person. This fixes a sensitive instrument through changes of thoracic and abdominal respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems, galvanic skin response investigated.

I must say that almost all the forensic technology is a product of high technology, and therefore very expensive. Compared with some samples cost polygraph looks quite modest. And therefore speculate about the excessive costs associated with the emergence of a new direction in expert activity, it would be redundant. Even if the experiment will justify itself and will be expanded to the district offices of the Interior.

I must say that in Europe almost every police department has a rate polygraph. This is certainly not an expert, namely a specially trained and trained police.

The results of his work can not be questioned and sufficiently authoritative. At the same personnel policy applies polygraph and did extremely well, each employee during the service met many times with the “insidious computer.”

Especially if you get in the “zone of visibility” internal investigations.

In our conditions, the use of the polygraph is in its own security service and county inspections on personnel and is all absolutely necessary.

After identify the notorious “contaminated” corruption of a staff member for the polygraph is quite simple and does not even require a lot of time. Passed through this procedure could be all employees without exception in the course of, for example, appraisals, and negative conclusion or abandonment of research considered as a reason for dismissal.

However, in this case, according to some experts, in the internal affairs could be an acute shortage of personnel, especially in services activities are associated with the service of the population. It turns out that this method looks in certain circumstances at least undesirable. But here it is necessary to identify and take the agonizing decision: which is better – a shortage of staff or abundance bribes.

Yes, and in criminal cases may be some inconvenience, if the polygraph to ensure the availability of not only the investigators, but also lawyers. And here is important to define the status, this study or examination. That is, whether the data is taken into account by the court of the polygraph as indisputable truth or merely as an indirect, though weighty proof. All these points will be taken into account when summing up the experiment.

At the same time benefit from the use of the polygraph now undisputed. Especially in such cases where it is impossible to determine the victim’s usual methods.

For example, using bribes can be equally successful as the culprit to blame, and honest person. Say, throw him a bundle of notes labeled, and then organize a “detention” by all the rules, with witnesses. Toss a grenade when you can and check the car, and drugs – during the personal search. In such cases, the polygraph can be and do the only salvation from the investigative arbitrariness.

I think that sooner or later the polygraph still “prescribe” in each division, where there are regular criminologists. It is important here to ensure equal accessibility to these studies, both the prosecution and the defense in each criminal case. And to make the courts take into account the findings of these experts. Then win the whole population of our country and will be made another significant step towards civil society.
