If you are a suspect in a criminal investigation in Indiana, a common police tactic is to attempt to convince you to submit to a polygraph examination. Polygraph examinations are unreliable and cannot prove your innocence. You should never waive your right to an attorney and submit to aggressive police interrogation.
Polygraph requests are common in sex crimes investigations, including sexual misconduct with a minor, child molesting, and child seduction. Under Indiana law, the accuser is never required to submit to a polygraph.
