Lie Detector Question?

Question

Hey guys, Im 15 and I know this is early but I want to become a state trooper for the florida highway patrol and obviously there is a lie detector test, I become nervous in situations like these [although i wouldnt have anything to hide because I have never gotten into trouble and dont commit crimes] and i was wondering if the lie detector would detect a lie when really i was just badly nervous but i was telling the truth. Also, im going into 10th grade this year. Is there any classes I should take related to Law enforcement deputies?

Thank you very much, 10 points to most detailed and helpful.

Answer 1

Think about the best looking girl you know ,naked ,when they ask you the simple questions like your age and name and you will pass on the challanging questions everytime.Even if you have somethng to hide.It works.

Answer 2

Hey Matt,

Lets put aside the poly right now.

Get into your local (municipal or county) explorer scout program.  This will get you some idea about the job and what to expect.

After high school:

Junior College is good, get your AS in.... something that serves the public. LEO, Psych, EMT/Medic. Or something that will help your future dept, business admin or the like.  

Military:

Any is good, but I have always been impressed by the Coast Guard (yea I am goin out on a limb, and many will yell at me, but I was harbor patrol and I was impressed by the 20 year old running a 81 foot patrol boat)

No really, any of the services are good for you.

The poly is the least of your problems, It only asks one question. Are you honest? Think of it as a truth verification  device, did you tell the truth? We are not looking for perfect  people, we are looking for honest people.

If you lie, you die.

Take as many courses as you need to graduate.  Just be sure you get very good marks.  I suggest you not worry any further than that as you have several years yet in which to make up your mind.  Besides, by that time the rules will have changed many times and lie detector tests will probably have been replaced by some new gadget.  Don't be discouraged by me telling you just to work on your marks ... you'll get most adults telling you the same thing.  That is, however, the only practical think you can actively do to attain your goal.  All the best and I hope you some day join our 'family'.  Good luck!!

Don't worry you're fine...

Lie dectectors don't work that way...

Everyone is nercous before taking a lie dector session

you just need to keep on telling the truth

the sessions are long but if you're truthful then you shouldn't break a sweat

i don't know what courses your school offers but you should actually go see a guidence councecler they will help you out better >.<

=) good luck

i hope that helped
