Respuesta :
In serious criminal proceedings, the use of eyewitness testimony and lie detector testing as evidence was prohibited.
Why is evidence from lie detectors typically not acceptable in court?
In general, polygraph test findings are not admissible in court because they lack the scientific validity needed to be used in a setting where the stakes are as high as in court. This is due to the fact that it is commonly known that some people can pass an exam while lying and that other people who are telling the truth can fail a test.
A polygraph test is not admissible in court in California unless both parties consent to its admission as evidence. A suspect, witness, or employee cannot be coerced into taking a polygraph by police or an employer.
