But lie detectors remain controversial - their test results are not accepted by UK courts, because of doubts about their accuracy. As Chairman of the British Polygraphic Association Bruce Burgess said: "The problem being that if you get a judge or jury accepting the evidence of the polygraph, it could be used as a guilty or innocent tool... and we could do away with the court.
