Rejected petition Compulsory lie detector tests in sex crime cases
More details
To ensure that any person making a claim of a sexual crime committed againt themselves, has to undergo a compulsory lie detector test, upon making the allegation.
The police can then only proceed to investigate further, if a positive result is obtained.
The person against whom the accusation is made, would also have the right to the same test.
A £400 test does not ruin reputations, when the claim is false.
