FAQs

If you fail a police polygraph test, the results may be interpreted as an indication of deception. However, police cannot use polygraph results as definitive proof of guilt. The outcome might influence the investigation or lead to further questioning, but it does not carry legal consequences on its own. It's important to remember that you have the right to remain silent and consult an attorney if you feel pressured.
