MA Police Officers can be forced to take lie detector test

The SJC ruled that a person who serves as a Police Officer in Massachusetts can be forced to take a lie detector test if the officer is being investigated for misconduct.

I completely agree with this law. If a police officer is performing his or her duties correctly, then why would they refuse to take a lie detector test? It will allow the public to have more faith and confidence in the police that serve and protect us.

No more false allegations or cases by those very few corrupt police officers out there in Massachusetts! Thank you SJC!

Very interesting that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that a police officer can be subject to a lie detector test if being investigated for misconduct. Do you have a cite?

Convicted Felons acting as Process Servers

A NON-MEMBER OF THE NETWORK ASKS: You declined to accept me as a [Process Server] member of your network because I was convicted of a felony three years ago. Why can't I serve as a Process Server?
