Why can't the results of a lie detector test be used in court?
Because they are unreliable.
then why would they ask anyone to take one and why would anyone agree to do so? Its not scientifically accurate and its results could weigh against you in public opinion
If those lie detector tests are so unreliable why does Brinks not hire you unless you take one? My friend refused and they through his application out.
Lots of people think lie detectors are accurate, including some companies and agencies that use them in recruitment. That doesn't change the facts.
