When you need the truth from a new Nanny, a child, a new employee; ask them to submit to a voice analysis with VIPRE the latest in Truth Verification technology

By Frank Marciano, Esq.

In the practice of law and in the enforcement of law one thing is a constant; lies and the lying liars who tell them.  Its bad enough that most people don?t even know the truth, but there are situations where you feel that you cannot just trust someone on their word alone.   I was discussing this issue with a retired Hoboken Police Office, Michael D. Costello, who is now a Licensed New Jersey Investigator and he told me all about a machine that learned while at the police department that analysis the stress in a person?s voice to determine if they are telling the truth.  As part of his Investigation Business he has purchased the VIPRE machine and is certified in its use.  Check out his website.  The machine and process is legal as long as you tell the person you will be testing them for the truth.  In real life, the very fact that you put someone on the spot will weed out most people who have something to lie about.    Obviously some people just pathological and make no distinction between the truth and lies, but in today?s world, where you really don?t know the background of most people in your life it is better to be safe than sorry.
