Hello Curtis! Now that I know you're in West Virginia, could you please elaborate on the specific legal issue you're seeking guidance on?
Can a probation officer use results from a polygraph to put you in jail
In West Virginia, polygraph results are generally not admissible in court, but a probation officer may use the information to take further actions. They might:
- Conduct further investigation
- Revise the probation terms
- Recommend revocation of probation
Each case is unique, so consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
I thought they couldn't revoke probation solely on the results
In West Virginia, probation revocation isn't usually based solely on polygraph results. However, these can lead to:
- Further investigation
- Probation terms revision
- Probation revocation recommendation
You must consult a local attorney for precise legal advice.
Do they use the results to put you in jail or is there more to it than just the results
Probation officers in West Virginia may not use polygraph results alone to send you to jail. However, they can:
- Initiate further investigations
- Modify your probation terms
- Recommend probation revocation
This is often based on additional evidence discovered. For personalized advice, consult a local attorney.
So they can't revoke probation just on the results
That's correct, Curtis. In West Virginia, probation usually can't be revoked based solely on polygraph results. However, these results can lead to further actions. It's important to discuss your situation with a local attorney for specific advice.
So just because you failed a polygraph test they still have to find evidence before they can violate me
That's correct, Curtis. In West Virginia:
- Failing a polygraph test alone usually can't lead to probation violation.
- Additional evidence is often needed before a probation violation can occur.

So failing a polygraph doesn't mean probation is going to be violated
That's correct, Curtis. In West Virginia, failing a polygraph test does not automatically mean your probation will be violated. Additional evidence is typically needed. It's always best to consult with a local attorney for your specific situation.
