Some of the world's best criminals don't get away with their crimes because
they're so smart and not getting caught instead it's because they're able to
convince people they're totally innocent even if they are a suspect for example a
CIA double agent Robert Hansen it was able to beat a lie detector four times
well recently an NSA agent has revealed the ways to beat a lie detector all of
these tips are totally real and do work so if you're a criminal turn off the
video right now I'm Charlie and today we're going to look at how to beat a lie
detector but before I can arrest it for publishing this why not subscribe and
press the notification bell to imagine this you're sat in the interrogation
room in a comfortable chair two straps will be wrapped around your chest and
metal will cover your fingertips you will also have a blood pressure cuff
hanging around your arm there will be a wire leading to a box which is sending
data to a laptop that's the exact setup of a polygraph or lie detector so how do
you beat it well the first step is understanding how a polygraph works
despite the name lie detectors don't detect lies exactly but what they do do
is track psychological changes in your body this includes your blood pressure
pulse respiration and perspiration when you lie these things will change in a
certain way and the polygraph will be able to detect that the first thing you
need to not do is overthink or worry about the test if you spend too much
time worrying this could skew the test against your favor but the first main
tip is to let yourself be nervous think about it during a lie-detector
test no one is expected to be totally calm and oftentimes if you're too calm
if this could come up as a red flag so allow yourself to be slightly nervous
while you're doing the test even if you're telling the truth the lines and
the lie detector will never come out flat and smooth in fact it's good to
make sure you're nervous about every answer even the minor stuff this will
make you appear much more truthful on the polygraph test one NSA whistleblower
named Russell theis also gave a great tip about lie detector tests he said the
NSA would often do a lie detector test on him and other agents this would allow
the NSA to get personal info on the agents to blackmail
them to do illegal things but ty said he came up with a trick to beat the test
whenever he lied he would bite his tongue hard while doing so this would
set off other psychological reactions in his body this would cause the needle to
fly all over the place and this would then make the test to think the guy is a
really nervous person and has a strong physical reaction when lying he would
say this when they would do pre test lies for example before the main test
they would say things like have you ever stolen money have you ever cheated on a
test most people have done these things so they would expect you to lie and
that's the same on many lie-detector tests for example police ones before the
actual questions they'll ask you these kind of questions to see how you cope
when you lie so by biting your tongue hard you're making them think that
you're actually very nervous when really you're just normal or calm he also gave
another tip which is to daydream he said to think of a warm summer night or
drinking a beer anything that calms you down think of that this basically throws
them off and makes you very very calm if you do this if the needle may move a
little bit because you're lying but not a lot and because you've already
convinced them that you're nervous Nellie with the tongue biting technique
this small reaction that won't tip them off I reached out to the NSA to see what
they had to say about this but they did not get back to me in time but according
to insiders the NSA still use polygraph tests very frequently another good tip
to beat a polygraph test is to speak truthfully if you really have nothing to
hide or be ashamed of then tell the truth sometimes innocent people can
actually be found guilty simply because they're too nervous during their lie
detector test so if you really do have nothing to hide then actually tell the
truth and the needle won't move at all as well as biting your tongue you can
also do a difficult math problem in your hand for example try and divide 486 by
29 this will make your heart rate and perspiration increase but remember only
do this to the control questions these are the ones they asked at the beginning
of the test like have you ever lied to your parents you're expected to lie here
so you can manipulate the test by making them think you're super nervous when
answering this question some people also do other tricks which are very easy to
catch so you shouldn't do these for example
some people stick thumbtacks in their shoes then when they're asked a control
question they step on that pin to make their body freak out however many
testers have caught on to this so now they'll ask you to remove your shoes
before a test biting your tongue is good because a lot of the time the examiner
cannot see it happening inside your mouth but they can see things like you
pinching yourself or clenching a muscle so avoid doing that so that's how
lie-detector or polygraph tests work and how you can beat them remember only do
this if someone's trying to do a lie-detector test on you illegally for
example some officers have been caught giving their employees lie-detector
tests this is actually not legal and as an employee you can refuse this but if
you ever get into a tricky situation and you think you're being set up for
something then you can use these tips but now it's time to make your opinion
hurt have you ever had to do a lie detector test vote in the poem the top
