This is a 2012 Law School training video. The first half is a Law Professor. The second half starting at time stamp 26:40 is a Virginia Beach Detective presenting his perspective.
The video is poor quality but this is a video everyone should watch occasionally.
"The whole process is psychological manipulation..."
Yes, that's exactly how polygraphs work and the "results" are highly dependent upon the polygrapher's actions, interpretations, and goals.
"[the detective] kept pointing to his test that said I showed deception."
This is standard technique in any polygraph. True or not, the purpose is to upset you. 90% of "detrimental" information is elicited from the subject via induced fear and frustration, not from the actual polygraph.
From The Road To Tycho, a collection of articles about the antecedents of the Lunarian Revolution, published in Luna City in 2096.
"... For Dan Halbert, the road to Tycho began in college—when Lissa Lenz asked to borrow his computer. Hers had broken down, and unless she could borrow another, she would fail her midterm project. There was no one she dared ask, except Dan.
"This put Dan in a dilemma. He had to help her—but if he lent her his computer, she might read his books. Aside from the fact that you could go to prison for many years for letting someone else read your books, the very idea shocked him at first. Like everyone, he had been taught since elementary school that sharing books was nasty and wrong—something that only pirates would do. ..."

While there have certainly been "crashes and criticism", in nearly all of those cases it has been driver error (or drunk) for failing to properly use what is essentially enhanced cruise control which Tesla calls "Auto Pilot". Arguably that's a misleading name for enhanced cruise control. However, that is NOT "full self-driving"!
"full self-driving" is a Beta release available to very few drivers. I'm not aware of any, as in ZERO, crashes attributed to "full self-driving".
The mainstream press confuses the terms and often doesn't seem to know the difference. It's not just semantics, cruise control is not full self driving. I expect better from Techdirt!

"Don't Talk to the Police"

NEVER voluntarily take a polygraph!

A polygraph is never to your advantage!
This is almost as foolish as:
This is almost as foolish as Iridium. $1200 Sat Phones with $5/minute rates. Clearly that would never ...
Oh wait! They are still going strong and recently upgraded their entire constellation via SpaceX.

Piling on sans facts maybe?
