I would be more worried about it being used to reveal information than be used in court as evidence. If the trial is anywhere near fair it will be trivial to say you can never prove if it was a real memory.

Lie detectors are mainly a US superstition, I think. Wikipedia has a long list of jurisdictions which correctly identified them as junk science.

Every country has something. In Germany we have homeopathy, which at least can't be used to pervert justice.
