Question

$300 was stolen from my place of employment. Since there is no cameras everyone that worked is being questioned by the police. I was asked if I would take a polygraph test if nobody came forward. I don't have anything to hide but don't want to be found guilty of a crime I didn't commit either. Can I be forced to take this test? What can they do if I refuse?

Answer

You do not have to take a polygraph. In most cases they are Inadmissible in court. Additionally, they may be bluffing as a polygraph costs a lot more than $300.
