Today, would give new meaning to the saying, "quiet in the courtroom". Individuals entering the courthouse would have to do so absence their electronic recording devices. A new electronic device ban has been enacted and that include the always handy cellphone.
Some heard about the cellphone ban on the 5:00 a.m. news. Some received telephone calls from a member family or friend. But others did not know or did not care, showed up with their cellphones. Read the posted signs and entered the building with their cellphones anyways. Hoping they could at least park their cellphones in the security area.
They were told they would have to take their cellphones out of the building. Some took their cellphones to their car. Some reluctantly passed it to a friend not having to go to court. One stated he was going to take his to his probation officer down the street. Others called someone to come pick up their cellphone.
After overcoming the cellphone ban they joined others who stood inside or went outside to smoke cigarettes, they had one more surprise. The court business had been delayed under 9:30 a.m. instead of the normal 8:30 a.m. This would give the guy hooked up to his Ipod just enough time to take his favorite tunes back to his car.
