Moreover, poorly trained police officers do not usually know how to use tactically the information content of forensic evidence. During the preparatory proceedings problems connected with small value of detection of classic evidence appear. also the significance of aFis and genom databases decreases and obtaining reference material is becoming difficult. in such situations law enforcement authorities do not have to be helpless because, while committing a crime, memory traces of this events are formed in the mind of a perpetrator. they can be revealed objectively by polygraph examination aimed at excluding and confirming a person’s connection with the event. in many cases, however, there is no alternative for polygraph, which was presented in this article.<br/><br/>
