Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: polygraph testing

Under no circumstances should you take a polygraph test at the request of the police.

Nor should you ever:

-- Agree to come to the police station voluntarily (make them arrest you)

-- Volunteer to be questioned (remain SILENT)

-- Consent to a search (say "I'd rather you didn't search my (home, car, etc.) unless you have a warrant")

-- Admit the police to your home (make them kick the door down)

-- Say anything to a police officer except, "Sir, I'd like to have an attorney present."

No matter what they say, it is never to your advantage to do any of the above.
