How do you know if someone’s lying? Thursday night, CBS premiered a new show, “Person of Interest” which showcased how technology can get to the truth and solve crime. That was followed by the season premiere of “The Mentalist.” Simon Baker was back to his old tricks of reading body language to find the truth.

So, that led us to ask: is man or machine better at finding the truth? We turned to David Shelton, a Private Investigator with Advanced Technology Investigations to separate fact from fiction.
He said machines can be accurate, but that he’d rely on interviewing someone in person over a machine’s results. When it comes to trying to spot a liar, there are several things you can watch for to see if someone may by lying to you.
-Look at their demeanor. Are they relaxed, tense, or showing any signs of nervous movement?
-Can they look you in the eye?
-And are they fluid in answering questions?
We also found an really interesting tip on another site. The site also says to look at a person’s palms. They say a person’s palms will face down when they are lying, because the subconscious thinks you’re more vulnerable when your palms are face up.
