thats a very good question, maybe everyone is truthful
it would probally be too expensive for every court case but for the murders etc...it would be a very good idea.
i think in some cases the criminals/witnesses or whoever get the lie detector test before they go to court, but these are only in extreme cases

the lie detector tests are not very accurate actually.. they depend on a flawed
principle that your heart and breathing changes when you lie because you are
"taking a chance" at lying...

however, if you are a chronic liar, or you have the ability or are coached into
the lie, the detector can be defeated.. so it's not really useful..

also, nervous people may give a lot of false positives while people who are
dead calm may give a lot of false negatives..

it's a pointless exercise..

i did a bit of research on that when the cops pulled me up and made me take a
lie detector test

seriously..

they said they knew i had nothing to do with the crime but it was a way to make
their bosses shut up about their not investigating me.. i went along with it
because i was curious and wanted them to get off my case too
