What is the current legal status of polygraph evidence in Canada?

Correct Answer

Answered by ExamLex AI

Answered by ExamLex AI

As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, in Canada, polygraph evidence, commonly known as "lie detector" results, is generally not admissible in criminal court proceedings. The Canadian legal system does not recognize polygraph tests as a reliable form of evidence due to concerns about their accuracy and the potential for prejudicing a jury. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that the results of a polygraph test do not meet the necessary standards of reliability to be admitted as evidence. However, polygraph evidence may be used in other contexts outside of the criminal courtroom. For example, it can be utilized during police investigations as an investigative tool, in internal disciplinary proceedings of certain organizations, or in the context of parole hearings. Additionally, polygraph results might be considered in civil cases, depending on the circumstances and the discretion of the judge. It is also worth noting that while polygraph evidence itself is not admissible in court, information obtained from a polygraph test could potentially lead to admissible evidence. For instance, if a polygraph test prompts a suspect to make an admission or confession, that statement could be admissible, provided it was given voluntarily and in accordance with the accused's rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The legal status of polygraph evidence can evolve, and it's important to consult current legal resources or a legal professional for the most up-to-date information regarding its admissibility in Canada.
