Polygraphs can be used as evidence, but you would have to be a moron to submit to one, and refusing one cannot be used as evidence of guilt.

- singleshot_ 2y agoI’m very curious about your last sentence. Are you basing this on the fifth amendment, or something else.
- dfxm12 2y agoFWIW, in PA, it can't be brought up in court as evidence that you refused to take a polygraph. Nationally, we have a right to remain silent, so I imagine it's not much different elsewhere, but IANAL, so there could be some tricks cops/prosecutors can play in other states. There's no connection to the fifth amendment.
