I was 'lie detected' last month for housing benefit/council tax benefit by Edinburgh City Council. Fortunately I knew about the VRA technology beforehand because their declaration about using it was deliberately obscure. "This call may be recorded for quality control and fraud purposes" is NOT the same as an open declaration "We're about to try and use a lie detector on your responses to this telephone interview." The excuse for the interview was "improving the quality of our service" not "attempting to determine if you're a cheat or not". Still shirty about this...
