| 单词 | Lie detector |
| 释义 | 測謊機 An apparatus that measures the physiological reactions in the body, or stress or vibration in the voice, of a person under interrogation, to determine whether the person is telling the truth. The nature of a lie detector ‘polygraph’ test is to detect stress caused by anxiety. The test cannot be conducted in open court. Lie detector results are inadmissible as evidence in a criminal trial, because this is not a recognised area of law and would infringe upon the right of the court to determine certain critical issues, namely guilt or innocence: Bernal & Anor v R (Transcript, 28 April 1997, PC). The admission of lie detector results to bolster the credibility of the accused as a witness offends the well-established rule against adducing evidence solely for the purpose of bolstering a witness’s credibility, as well as the rule against admission of past consistent out-of-court statement: Bernal & Anor v R, supra. See also Inadmissible; Lie. 量度某人被審訊時，身體在生理上的反應，或其聲音的緊張、振盪程度，從而決定該人是否在講真話。測謊機測試(polygraph)的性質，乃偵測焦慮而引起的緊張。該測試不能在公開法庭上進行。測謊機測試的結果在刑事審訊中，不能被接納為證據，因為它屬未經承認方面的法律，並會侵占法庭對某重大爭議，即就有罪或無罪作出裁決的權力：Bernal & Anor v R (Transcript, 28 April 1997, PC)。接納測謊機測試結果以增強被控人作為證人的可信性，違反已確立的針對僅為增強證人的可信性而援引證據的規則，及違反針對接納過去的非法庭相符陳述：Bernal & Anor v R, 見上文。另見 Inadmissible; Lie。 |
