It's actually called a 'Lie Detector Purchaser Detector'. The vendor can tell if the suspected purchaser is the genuine article at the precise moment when he hands over the two quid and walks off with it.
Actually, it was waiting for him to be caught in a lie - around about 1:10 through to about 1:23 or so, that thing starts registering pretty close to the red as he starts trash talking about the device, suggesting a lack of belief in his own words.
Perhaps if the device were to be used at about the same time as the man was asked something personal where he knew he'd have to lie, the results might be different.
As it is, the amber reading on that device at about 1:22 would be enough for me not to trust that man with money from my pocket.
