Require Polygraph Screens for Certain Positions in Government

I feel like this should have been done already, don't you?There has been a general attack against polygraph results being used in court in recent years and you can bet that the same types of people who try to tell you that they can no longer be used as evidence are the same people who try to say that the States cannot legally secede. Polygraph evidence can still be used as Affirmative Evidence, but is no longer accepted as Evidence, with a capital "E"...but as far as evidence (with a lower case "e") in the colloquial sense is concerned, it very can be and is. And in fact, for sexual offenders, polygraph screens are the main thing used when determining whether or not to revoke a parole. Polygraph data is very reliable and still used extensively by the court systems and technology should only continue to improve. The move to bar polygraph data from being used as Evidence and only as Affirmative Evidence I feel is wise because there is always the ability for someone to falsify a test, or for someone to fail just for being stressed or nervous, or perhaps from the machine not functioning correctly...they being only accepted as Affirmative Evidence is a better idea in order to circumvent someone being convicted JUST for failing a polygraph alone, with NO other evidence...because everyone knows now that polygraphs are very indicative and also that sometimes people need to break the law too, so having them as affirmative evidence gives a Judge and Jury much better control over the future's outcomes.By the same hand, certain positions in government should use polygraph data in determining who should be hired. If we use polygraphs in court and on child molestors, we sure as hell should be using them on those who are in charge of maintaining control over those criminals, lest we invite corruption and organized crime in targeting children, which we are seeing now all over the news...coincidence?Such a law would ensure that corrupted individuals are kept away from ever even applying for sensitive positions, which would likely curb corruption exponentially overnight.A few key areas which come to mind are CPS, Judges and Law Enforcement. Even juries could be screened to weed out bad guys.I'm not saying that polygraph tests should be overly-extensive and everywhere, because all adults have adult things to deal with on their minds, and white lies help save time and face, but to a large extent, true criminals could be exponentially reduced, saving 10 lives at the expense of 1 person's discomfort or incarceration, whereas now, that 1 person who is up to no good who moans and groans over having polygraph tests is getting away with our time and money, leading to the deaths of those 10 people we could have with us (or preventing them from being born in the first place), who would be much more enjoyable, especially when it comes to our children. CPS is notorious for corruption and polygraph screening could help wipe the issue out. Also, currently, Judges have a large degree of immunity, and when corrupt Judges get into power, they can create an entire structure of corruption and make removing them almost impossible, causing issues which can last for generations and ransack entire communities. Simple screening for Judges would help to keep problems down and regular checkups every few years or so would ensure that there is a system to keep major positions in check and keep the government and economy healthy and bug free, as of right now there's not...there used to be way back in the day because it was understood that if you were a crooked judge you'd just get plain shot or stabbed in the dark by an assassin, but nowadays with forensics, modernity and general gentrification, we can't just kill bad guys like they do in the movies anymore. Anyway, such a system would integrate nicely with an eGov system whereupon voters could agree upon which kinds of questions to include in the screening process.
