- Virginia Governor Tim Kaine Vetoed two bills that were designed to allow voice stress analyzers to be used by Law Enforcement. The General Assembly upheld the Veto in recent session. Had these bills passed, VSA would have been able to be used with no oversight or regulation. The following notes are from the Governor's Website:
Lie DetectorsHB 1613, SB1374
"Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 1613 and Senate Bill 1374, which would allow unlicensed law enforcement officers to operate new, unregulated lie detection devices.
"I proposed an amendment to HB 1613 that would have allowed additional devices, but regulate them in a way similar to the existing rules for polygraph machines. Unfortunately, that amendment was defeated by the House.
"Untested, unregulated devices should not be used in police investigations. Law enforcement conceded as much when they added an amendment prohibiting the use of these machines in internal investigations."
