Why is the mainstream media not covering court bans of cell phones? Fortunately, our coverage continues. TechnoLawyer member Bryan Sims writes: "I find it hard to believe that cell phones are going off in courtrooms on a regular basis. I am in court quite a bit. In my experience, I would say that a cell phone rings in a courtroom less often than once a month. Maybe it is different elsewhere in the country, but in the Chicago area, frequent cell phone ringing has not been my experience. However, I do wish that more phone manufacturers made phones without cameras. Most courthouses around here prohibit phones with cameras. Although I have never encountered a problem with a camera phone at either the Daley Center (state court) or the Dirksen Building (federal court) in Chicago, both of which seem enlightened in their security rules. They take reasonable precautions, screen and x-ray items, but do not waste time trying to keep out modern conveniences, such as cell phones."
