      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.

                I must have forgotten that there is literally no middle ground between a verbal warning and execution.

        I think even a small jailtime would be pretty serious. Provided he can’t buy himself out. A fine would be a slap on the wrist*. A scolding is just that - something certain people have learned very early to ignore.

        * depends on the amount of course

      Jailtime for wearing glasses that can record videos in the courtroom?

      Maybe the death penalty while you are at it?

        The judge made it clear no cameras or recording equipment were allowed in the session and they brought wearable cameras that have facial recognition capabilities. That is the definition of contempt of court.

        But don’t you see? We don’t like these particular people, so they should suffer the maximum possible penalties under every circumstance.

        If we liked them then punishing them for wearing glasses would of course be a travesty.

          Calling them “glasses” is such a weasel word. No one cares at all that they are wearing glasses, they are wearing CAMERAS in a place where recording is strictly prohibited.

          I sincerely hope that you are going out of your way to troll, and don’t actually have thoughts that are this small and poorly formed.

          Sure, sure, everything can be simplified down to people just not “liking” them. That’s what this is all about. That’s what all this is about. We simply don’t like people. No, it’s not the fact that these assholes are the ones behind the 21st century rise of cyber-fascism. We just don’t like 'em. Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, yeah they’re all really decent people inside, it’s us that’s the problem. /s

          Sick and tired of useless fucking people that style themselves as “rational” and “middle of the road” in a world that is literally starting to threaten my very existence. The time for that shit is long past us, sorry.

            Whereas I prefer an organized rules-based justice system over anarchy and vigilantism. Because who knows when you or I might end up being in the “disliked” category?

              A rules based system works when every player follows the rules. One side is actively dismantling and abandoning the rules. Do we still keep playing with our hands tied behind our backs?

                You are essentially saying the crowd has to do its own justice.

                It’s a courtroom, not a voting booth.

                No, we fight to ensure that the rules are followed. In this case they are, the judge has discretion here.

                Would you rather there were “mandatory minimum” laws when it came to this as well?
