Polygraph confusion

[gozling]

I'm watching you boy!


Then your going to see the back of my

hee hee thats funnier

[TheeBadOne]

I've got a script for that...

[ex401mp]

What a tard.

[countybear]

Now you'll just have to take my word for it its the best I can do.

You are taking a polygraph examination to enter a law enforcement profession. No one is going to take your word on anything. That's why you are getting a polygraph. Any questions?

I literally have never sold drugs.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt...

I was prescribed to Adderall in college and gave it to some friends at a few points but never exceeded 20 times or made more than $50 from it.....

Congratulations, you are a liar who once sold drugs... Selling one pill is as much an offense as selling 1000, there are no quantity discounts in felony criminal statutes, only additional counts.

In all of your professional opinions what is your take on this?

You couldn't make it as a drug dealer so you decided to try becoming a cop... My "take" is that you are an asshole, and that is my professional opinion.

Well, you asked...

Lastly he asked why I didn’t tell him and this is honest, I said because I said on my last app at another dept. I had sold drugs and they told me I hadn’t because it was my prescription and I should have checked "no".

Another lie, and I didn't even need a polygraph machine to detect it. Damn, I'm good.

How bad does this look?

Not too bad, really... only about 5-10 in a medium security facility. I mean, you didn't kill anyone did you? Or did you? Was this one of the polygraph questions? Well, did you?

Is what I did a huge showstopper?

Its about even with Janet Jackson's nipple, just on a smaller scale. (Did I say, scale, as in used in distribution?) BAHAHAHA!

Thanks!

No, thanks... If I need Adderal, I'll go see a Doc and a real pharmacist.

LE hopeful

The world is full of unrealized hopes. Welcome to reality, its for people who can't handle drugs.

Now then, as for my time. I rate it at about 10 Adderal, at five bucks a pop, that's $50.00, which by the way, is the same amount I usually get for going to court to testify against a drug dealer. Get a life, get a job (that doesn't require honesty, credibility, honor, or integrity since you have none), and GTFO of our forums before we digitally beat you to death with a foreign substance to you called truth.

Do the letters, FO mean anything to you?

Signed, your friend and future arresting officer,

the last agency I applied to told me that i should not have put I sold drugs on the app as these werent illegal

I wonder who told him that distributing a Schedule II drug isn't illegal, the janitor maybe? lol

[k-9max]

When it comes to police applicants, departments are alot more willing to work with you on something you fessed up to doing. If you don't list something, and they find out about it (and they will), then you will be viewed as untruthful and will most likely be removed from the hiring process.

Remember that just because one department doesn't have a problem with it doesn't mean the next department will view it the same way. When I took my poly for my current job, I was advised to tell EVERYTHING on the application and polygraph questionnaire. Almost all of it was written off by the examiner during the pre-test interview. They would word their questions in a way that would take my answers into account.

Also, how long ago did the LAST transaction take place? If you are 40 years old, and it was 20 years ago, that is one thing. If you just graduated college and it was 6 months ago, that is another.

What a minute!, How old are you?, you have been through the system already, i mean polygraph and all?
Interesting????

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to countybear again.

..the polygrapher came around and said "Hey you’re not doing to good, what’s up with sale of drugs? And lying on your app the poly is showing deception to me?" … I told him well all I can think of is I was prescribed to Adderall in college and gave it to some friends at a few points but never exceeded 20 times or made more than $50 from it.....

“All I can think of…” - ?
To the best of my understanding, a polygraph can only detect a conscious deception.
I guess that’s why it’s not called a truth detector or an ‘Historiographer.’

what is your take on this? … should of kept it to myself?.

( ‘Should have’ ). That should have been the first insight gleaned from having taken the test at all. If you have a ‘guilty conscience’ or ‘Will-to-deceive,’ you can’t ‘keep it to yourself.’ ‘Should’ doesn’t even enter the equation at the level of a polygraph.
Why do you think they’re even used? *confused*

I’d like to think that any prospective employer in L.E. would want to know not only that you distributed a Schedule II C.S., but why you were prescribed Adderall in the first place.
Even without the distribution issue, I’d have serious questions regarding mental suitability for L.E. service.
What was it prescribed for – A.D.D.? Narcolepsy? Chronic depression?
Any of those reasons might be a ‘showstopper’ already.

You also said, applying for Federal L.E. ..Let me guess – the D.E.A?

[CW Mock]

You are a drug dealer. END OF STORY.

You are not fit to be the Po-Leece because you can;t tell the truth, and you have a history of peddling dope to kids and then trying to lie about it.

I'll have fries, and paper is fine. Plastic is bad for the environment.

See ya, tool.

Hahahahahahah!!! That's the spirit!

Yep, I think this lady might just work out fine here...

nice job!


Mr. Polygraph confusion... you have been:

[rob84]

Wait a minute, wait a minute.....so you guys are saying that just because I supplied George Jung, and Carlos Lehder with their coke in the 80's, that means that I cant be a cop now? This is bullshit!!!

[Cidp24]

You couldn't make it as a drug dealer so you decided to try becoming a cop... My "take" is that you are an asshole, and that is my professional opinion.

Well, you asked...

[smokey703]

He only sold a little bit of coke and only made a few dollars. Ah what the hell, if old Pablo was still alive maybe he could be the police too.

[Jks9199]

Not at all suggesting that the drug dealing liar that started the thread should be hired... but the Adderal presrciption isn't necessarily a big deal. Especially since so many schools are practically demanding that kids be prescribed if they have even the littlest hint of ADD/ADHD. It should be evaluated during the medical and psychological processing -- but I doubt it's an absolute disqualifier.

You know, like lying about drug dealing is... or drug dealing itself is.

[Tia]

Hi Jks9199,

the Adderal presrciption isn't necessarily a big deal … I doubt it's an absolute disqualifier.

Thanks – that makes good sense, & of course I agree too, that in & of-itself it should be no big deal.
I’d only said that I would think (and hope) any prospective employer would want to know why it was prescribed. It also wasn’t to a ‘little kid,’ but to a College student. Seemingly a bit late to diagnose A.D.D. and start medicating it. It could have even just been for hyperactivity – again, no big deal I suppose, unless leading-to and causing dysfunction.
Considering the approximate age at time of receiving the prescription (if true), I’d be very interested in what it was prescribed to treat.

( &nd incidentally, for the record, I think precious little of psychiatrists who seem to just want to medicate the tar out of people, rather than heal them. They’re worse than idiots. )

[MacLean]

I personally know an officer who suffers from ADD and is medicated for it, and he performs just fine.

In fact, he is one of the brightest and safest officers I know. I cannot say the same of him before he was treated.

As to the liar and dealer, he's been handled.

We are beating a dead horse here... Our drug dealing applicant is off of his ADHD meds. He probably forgot about this thread a long time ago, or at least stopped caring. By now I'm sure he is in the application process with the FD.
