polys are stressful. esp full scopes. I was honest and revealed more than I could remember during mine, certainly due to the stressful nature of it.
that being said, never bagged a minor |

Quoted: Have you ever committed a crime? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Do they always polygraph new cadets and give them strange questions? Have you ever committed a crime? That was probably the question that tripped this genius up. I wonder what they would do if you answered "Probably! Have you seen that book where average people commit 4 felonies a day!". |

Do they always polygraph new cadets and give them strange questions? View Quote Yes to the polygraph. They don't have to give you strange questions - they give you questions like "is there anything you are intentionally withholding from me today?" That will make your mind go bananas trying to think of stuff if you're not hiding anything... If you are hiding something - your brain will focus on it - or focus on suppressing it - either way, you're cooked. |

View Quote Aint hard, just squeeze your butt hole shut or hold your breath for every question. There is a reason polygraphs suck, and arent used as evidence in courts. Voice analysis is harder to beat, but not by much. A polygraph works like cofessing before a crucifix or the bible. It is all about the psychological stress that makes people actually admit to wrong doing. any semi functioning socipath could pass both of those tests with minimal or no training. |

Quoted: The weird questions are designed to throw you off. We get applicants with fucked up shit all the time. At least once every hiring cycle we call one into the station and arrest them for their outstanding warrants. View Quote A good quarter of the people returning from lunch failed the test and were told to leave. So they volunteered information about themselves that they knew they would disqualify them / didn't meet the minimum requirements and they paid over 100 bucks to take the test. |

I went through the process to become a penn state trooper.
They tell you that they want to see you tell the truth its not about your conduct of your past. I am in the military and was disqualified to things i admitted to doing while under the age of 17. Have you ever assaulted anyone? well yeah i was in a fight in highschool and gave the guy a black eye. Among other things, i was disqualified for shit i did when i was a kid. I received a letter saying that they want people of high standards and i dont fit it. They probably hired some minority on affirmative action points while i get denied while i serve in the military for telling the truth. their loss in my eyes. |

Had a couple college buddies go LAPD. They played these games during interviews involving chair placement in the room to see how aggressive you are, and if too aggressive to be a cop.

I got into a ton of fights when I was young. I hit 6' and 200lbs in 6th grade so I was bigger than everyone else, and I would actively look for other kids that were dicks just to goad them into fighting. It was a non-issue on my poly. They tested me twice though because they didn't believe I've never tried any drugs. |

My wife was HR for a small police department for a few years and was constantly amazed at the things people would confess to during the vetting process. I guess people think if they are honest about illegal or immoral conduct it will be excused.

Ive taken numerous polygraphs when I was trying to pursue a career in LE, Ive lied and Ive told the truth and each time it showed deception. The funny thing is that these polygraphers all fit the same profile. They are these pencil dick nerds that all think that they are the "best" at what they do. They all give you the same speal that "We're not looking for any angels..............blahh blah blah. If you tell the truth, your fucked, If you lie your fucked. If you've lived in a shell your whole life, of a certain ethnic background, or are 5ft tall, weigh 90lbs with big tits and a tight ass, you might be ok. I fit none of those 3 so, I figure LE is not the career for me. |

The animal question always gets me. You are already nervous, and then you feel like they are going to think you fuck animals if you stress during the question. I almost wonder if normal people stress more, because they don't want to fuck it up somehow.Kinda like how on "have you stolen anything" most people have their mind racing and a shitbag pops out "no" like he is Jesus himself.
