What is the easiest way to catch a liar?

One thing more, the advent of high technology cameras, include CCTV's, that is one great proof. You can never miss. But why you need to catch a lying person?

Especially with men, they will not tell you truth of extra- marital cases. Even if you feel by your gut that he is lying, he will not accept it when confronted with.
