Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 23 Posted June 23 (edited) In a Lawman episode today, the marshal, deputy and the accused mountain man had a meeting with the CHIEF of the tribe. The mountain man was accused of killing his Indian wife. He said it was an accident and she fell and hit her head on a rock. The Marshall agreed to let the chief do their lie detector test on the mountain man. It was a bowl of water and he put his finger in the water which came up the the end of his finger. When he told the truth the water stayed calm but when he lied the water became very unsettled. It turned out he was lying and ran out of the tepee and turned to the Marshall and shot at him, Marshall Troop got him. I wonder if that water test would work, when you think about it maybe it could. If you’re lying that could stimulate some nerves in your finger or hand to make you shake a little. Wonder if it would really work or if it’s just Hollyweird ?

Cypress Sun Posted June 23 Posted June 23 I heard about the "Indian" lie detector test when I was a kid. I believe almost anyone could pass that test. Accomplished liars like OJ and Casey Anthony would pass it with flying colors. 1 2 Quote

Black Angus McPherson Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Way back in the day a couple detectives wired up a suspect to a xerox machine to question him. There was a page on the scanner that said "YOU'RE LYING". They'd ask the guy a question then hit the copy button and out popped a page that said "YOU"RE LYING". Freaked the guy out. It helps if they're drunk or high. I don't recall how effective the interrogation turned out to be, but it was funny as hell. Night shift guys could get by with a lot of "stuff" with no brass around.
