You've seen all the tv documentaries, you've read all the stories of people who spent years in prison, even death row, before it was proved (usually these days through dna) that they didn't do it. Up to and including false confessions if they can get one. So you take a test, it says you are lying, so now the police take this as absolute 100% proof and that is their agenda and they will work to fit all evidence to it. See You Have the Right to Remain Innocent Conversely, those with few emotions or no sense of guilt, psychopaths don't show the rise in stress level that would indicate their guilt. Some people, feeling very intimidated, or perhaps they do know all about something but it was a brother or someone close, or just because they are jumpy, emotionally-unstable people cause the person administering the test to conclude they are lying or hiding something. They are not admissible as evidence because they aren't 100% accurate.

The first thing to note is that should you get arrested you should never, ever agree to take a polygraph test.

You feed the media with fake news because essentially they will print anything that brings them viewers of their ads. This is not about that case more than any other. Sullivan in Harvard (he lost his tenured position, see below, in italics **). What happens when the media and people have all decided someone is guilty and so any lawyer that might represent them should be cancelled? As happened with Ronald J. In Fake Law, the Secret Barrister debunks the lies and builds an hilarious, alarming and eye-opening defence against the abuse of our law, our rights and our democracy.

Thankfully, the Secret Barrister is back to reveal the stupidity, malice and incompetence behind many of the biggest legal stories of recent years. This 'fake law' allows the powerful and the ignorant to corrupt justice without our knowledge - worse, we risk letting them make us complicit. Our unfamiliarity is dangerous because it makes us vulnerable to media spin, political lies and the kind of misinformation that frequently comes from other loud-mouthed amateurs and those with vested interests. But the law touches every area of our lives: from intimate family matters to the biggest issues in our society. Most of us think the law is only relevant to criminals, if we even think of it at all. Could the courts really order the death of your innocent baby? Was there an illegal immigrant who couldn't be deported because he had a pet cat? Are unelected judges truly enemies of the people?
