The cumulative research evidence suggests that machines do detect deception better than chance, but with significant error rates... Lie detector results are very rarely admitted in evidence in the US courts.
I won't willingly partake in well-known pseudoscience. Also, a false positive would make my life looked into more by police, which doesn't sound fun, and if it correctly comes back positive, and I'm a genuine suspect, the police are gong to say "you tricked it" and look into my life.
I know it's not admissible, but what a great story to tell a jury: "This guy is so heartless, so emotionless, he tricked a polygraph test!" Heck, it could be in the papers.
I don't see what the benefit is at all.
