The Truth About Lie Detectors

Legal team, today we’re switching things up and diving into the strange, controversial world of lie detector tests. From their 1920s origins and ties to Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth to infamous pop culture moments and why most courts won’t accept them as evidence, we’re unpacking the history, science, and drama behind the lie detector test — including its recent cameo on RHOC.


What’s on the docket?

  • RHOC’s recent polygraph ambush
  • The history and origins of the lie detector test
  • The lie detector’s boom in policing and ties to Wonder Woman
  • Famous cases where polygraphs played a role
  • How polygraphs actually work
  • Licensing requirements for administrators
  • Why most courts reject them as evidence
