in state cases, law enforcement generally does not use lie detector tests for many reasons. if you are being threatened by the police to confess, saying that they will give you a lie detector is a method the police use to get you to confess. If you take a lie detector, make sure you get an independent person to administer the test, not a cop on an employee of the city.
