Polygraph is inadmissible in court cases thanks to a Supreme Court ruling in the early 1900s by people who fully understood it was bullshit.
That hasn't stopped certain government agencies and businesses who firmly believe their workers need to be subjugated to abuse through it (read: it can cost your job if you fail). AKA the double down on stupidity move.

It is inadmissible in court, but many times it is used as a way to get "probable cause" to falsely convict or to bully a subject into confessing falsely.

That's standard operation for the US legal system these days. Gotta have that perfect conviction record at all costs!
