Maybe he should take three.

1) Eagle, CO
2) (Where trial is held) Colorado
3) Los Angeles, CA

I know they arn't positivly accurate but come on... If he takes three at three different places don't you think that could help? I was just thinking of this...

if anyone here has taken a course in psychology and talked about lie detectors or know anything about them, they are not exactly what you think they are. Only person who knows if someone is lying is the person doing the lying. Lie detectors are not 100% correct and aren't anywhere close. If you're innocent, even taking a lie detector test can probably, and with a decent probability, make you out as lying. I don't think Kobe should take that chance, even if it's at 3 different places like you said. Then again, hollywood and shows like "meet my parents" or whatever it's called on NBC have sent the message that lie detectors do exactly what their name says....detect lies. But nonetheless, Kobe most likely will take one, cause you know what people will think if he refuses. The masses don't know.

Lie dectector test are usually polygraph tests.. They test the blood pressure, and the adrenilene of the one takin it. They test the heart rate when asked a certain question. Usually when someone is lyin, their heart jumps, and their adrenilene too. People can manipulate them too...

Plus, lie detector tests are inadmissable in a court of law. If Kobe honestly believes he didn't rape this girl, then he would pass the test. Now, the girl with her past emotional problems might have a harder time passing a test.

Even if Kobe passed it, it still wouldnt mean he's innocent. Someone can truly believe their innocent, and be a complete psychological liar about it, and they too can pass the test.

Actually, I have a degree in psychology and lie detector tests are fairly accurate. It does depend on how you measure accuracy. Sometimes, the machines are unable to render a response. So, if you administer 10 questions and 7 out of 10 are correct, 2 were immeasurable, and one was a false positive, opponents of lie detectors would calculate that as 70%. This is an incorrect estimation because 2 parts of the data was inconclusive (either the machine failed, or there was some sort of error). So, the accuracy would really be 7/8 = 87.5% which is fairly accurate.

Plus, the accuracy of a lie detector test can be affected by its administrator. If some Joe Shmoe is running the test, the results would differ from a professional running the test. Also, a trained professional can fool the lie detector (by controlling their own physiology, which isn't easy). Most people cannot fool a lie detector test (and by the way, your heart doesn't "jump" when you lie, but you do secrete small amount of sweat, and your heart rate goes up slightly).

For more on lie detectors, I recommend this site:
http://www.howstuffworks.com/question123.htm

Read through to learn more ... you'll see that they are actually quite accurate.

Finally, lie detectors are not admissible in court not because they are inaccurate, but because they aren't accurate enough. How can you use something that is about 87.5% accurate beyond a reasonable doubt?!

Ask people who know, and you'll get the right answers.

I understand what ur sayin... So professionals can fool the tests when examining people then... That's crazy, but it's their profession, and their trained to do so. And the ones takin it can also fool it too, that's what I'm sayin. Psycological liars can do so. They prove to themselevs that they are tellin the truth, so they believe it's al right in their own mind, u know?

I'm totally confused. I just got done saying that it's very difficult to fool a lie detector test. That only trained professionals who know how they work can do it. Basically, you have to have severe physiological control (not PSYCHOLOGICAL), physiological control of your body because the machine measures physiological (not PSYCHOLOGICAL) responses. Most people CANNOT control their heart rate, sweat glands, etc enough to sway a lie detector.

Secondly, what in the name of all that is holy, is a psychological liar? There's no such things as a psychological liar. If a person who is hooked up to a machine, tells what they honestly believe is the truth, it will register as a true statement. It can only detect if you are lying, and not if what you believe is fact.

Let me clarify *sigh*. If you see a drawing, and you thought it was red, and I gave you a lie detector and you said it was red it would come up as truth. Now, even if what you saw was actually black, the truth in your mind was that it was red. Truth is your own perception of reality. Whether that falls in line with other people's reality... that is not the job of a lie detector. *sigh* Why do I have to explain this so many times? lol
