With the exception of mental illness, drugs and medical conditions don’t necessarily enable a person to beat a lie detector test. However, they do skew the results, making them less reliable.
What percentage of people can beat a lie detector test?
There have been several reviews of polygraph accuracy. They suggest that polygraphs are accurate between 80\% and 90\% of the time. This means polygraphs are far from foolproof, but better than the average person’s ability to spot lies, which research suggests they can do around 55\% of the time.
How can I prove Im innocent?
Witness testimony can be used to prove innocence in two ways. First, if someone else committed the crime of which you are accused, a witness may be able to testify to seeing a person fitting a different description at the scene. Second, witness testimony can be used to establish an alibi.
Do lie detectors really work?

What are some examples of probable lie control questions?
Examples of probable lie control questions could be: 1 Did you ever tell a lie during the first twenty years of your life? 2 Have you ever borrowed something and failed to return it? 3 Have you EVER stolen anything?
