If they are turned off during meetings, they can be turned off in court rooms. Sounds more like a classroom than a court though.

I read this article last night and sent it on to a paralegal activist friend of mine, what an outrage and imagine if your like me and don't and won't own a cell phone then how are you even involved..?

I hope all of these people especially those who were carted off to County Jail sue the Bejeezus out of them the County and Court system and the arresting officers who are just as guilty as the Judge for obeying this criminal order..!
