Question
Should polygraphs be admissible in court?
Position
Yes, polygraphs should be allowed in court
Argument
Polygraphs induce confessions
“If I was in the police business I would use [the] polygraph...It's a powerful inducer of confessions, and you don't have to hit 'em with any clubs. I can't blame the police for using it; I only blame them for believing it.”
