The UK systematically uses polygraphs to interrogate some convicts on parole.

Making someone sit still for 3 hours answering questions, and accusing per of cheating if perse fidgets, while threatening jail if perse does not answer, is a subtle form of harsh interrogation — a psychological equivalent of a "stress position." The polygraph itself might not be necessary.

However, it won't cause real injury. Perhaps using it to get confessions of parole violations is acceptable.

Low traffic neighborhoods reduce pollution in that neighborhood, but they can increase traffic elsewhere. Often "elsewhere" is where poor people live.
