    Trials against Rios and Ulloa began at a time when a series of other police brutal actions emerged gaining public interest. Roybal produced yet other evidence linking the police department in misconduct, but Parker termed them as an injustice to the department (Escobar, 187).Trials that took place in 1952 only saw the conviction of five officers and another officer was jailed for not more than twelve months (Escobar, 192). Parker and the judges never bothered to condemn the act where the officers involved in perjury and this is clear evidence shown of how much the city government would fight to keep the Los Angeles police force clean (Escobar, 192). The officers claimed to have unclear memory during the hearing after which they are guilty when the investigations were done afresh as judge Call directed (Escobar,…

    Lie Detectors

    A polygraph is an instrument that simultaneously records changes in physiological processes such as heartbeat, blood pressure, respiration and electrical resistance (galvanic skin response or GSR). The polygraph is used as a lie detector by police departments, the FBI, the CIA, federal and state governments, and numerous private agencies. The underlying theory of the polygraph is that when people lie they also get measurably nervous about lying. The heartbeat increases, blood pressure goes up, breathing rhythms change, perspiration increases, etc. A baseline for these physiological characteristics is established by asking the subject questions whose answers the investigator knows. Deviation from the baseline for truthfulness is taken as sign of lying.…
