      A demand for removal and threat of being held in contempt seems like the appropriate response to bringing a camera in, no matter who you are.

        It does matter who they are!

        The judge said not to bring something in and they clearly ignored the judge’s directions and it is their job to comply with the judge’s directions. They are not some random person off the street.

          I dont disagree, and I think they should face punishment for what they’ve done already… But what’s supposed to happen here? Jail time specifically for bringing a camera? I dont get it.

            Yes, they should get jail time for being in contempt of court because they are professionals and should be held to a higher standard than people off the street.

            A person off the street should get a warning. Professionals should be expected to follow a judge’s orders.

      You sound like someone who has never experienced court outside of tv or movies.

      The courts process is entirely pragmatic. The entire point is to remove all emotions. The judge is not going to presume malice.

      The person most at risk here is their council. It they were aware of this stunt they could cause themselves serious damage.

        I work with courts routinely. You sound very naive.

        This face is doable for the elites if actual consequences occur.
