Abstract
The development of technology in the modern era has helped the criminalists practice to have new tools in the fight against crime and criminals. One of the modern forensic tools is polygraph, otherwise known as a lie detector. The polygraph is presented as an auxiliary tool in case investigation, especially in the operative phase enabling the collection of indications. A polygraph test can be a great way to evaluate the truthfulness of a person's statement about relevant information. The use of polygraphs, despite the fact that, due to the lack of legal regulations, it is not intended as evidence in investigative and criminal proceedings, has found a significant place in detecting and clarifying crimes, directing investigations, selecting suspects and discovering new evidence. Polygraph it is a tactical-criminalistics tool used in pre-trial proceedings as a means of elimination or as a guideline for the discovery and gathering of other evidence that may serve as a basis for a court decision. The current code does not mention polygraph testing. It is neither permitted nor prohibited for its use in criminal proceedings. In the Republic of North Macedonia, polygraph is significantly neglected, numbers of examinations are symbolic.
