The store that I work for got robbed in the middle of the night, I coperated with the police questions, a week later the store was robbed again in the same way, now the police want me to take a polygraph test, so I was wondering if a take it can I plead the fifth during the test?
The goal of a polygraph is to scare you through fear of failing the test...a goal they have achieved before you have even been questioned apparently.
Recommend you contact a criminal defense atty in your area ASAP.

You should consult with an experienced criminal attorney immediately. I would advise you not to take the test at all. If the police had enough evidence to arrest you they would have already. Polygraphs are not admissible in court. Sounds like they are still trying to build a case.
