        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

      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.

          My 6-year old is way ahead of the game then.

          I’ve got a tough decade ahead of me…

            Sorry for unsolicited advice, but:

            It’s usually about consequences. At that age, they react to actions much more than to words.

            And more generally, they need to learn that words have meaning, too. There’s way too many parents who just lazily shout “KEVIIIN, STOP THAT!” without any sort of follow-up. Not saying you do that though.

    It’s illegal to take photos and video in many courts, including all federal courts? Definitely one would need permission and can’t do it surrepticiously.

    This is a slap in the face to the judge, and the courts, to flout their rules as if they were above them. And they were above them apparently, they didn’t get held in contempt.

    This feels like gorilla marketing to me. They knew the judge would tell them to take them off and it would be just enough of a sensational story to make it to press. Now more people know that Meta has these glasses.

    Edit: I’m not changing it. The responses to my mistake are too funny

      Gorilla marketing, when you charge at someone and stop right before you fuck them up and then offer to sell them something.

      I don’t know if it was intentional marketing but it does have that effect and was kinda pointless. I assume people have camera phones in the courtroom with them too but possessing a device that can record doesn’t mean you intend to do it and I doubt Meta has tampered with their glasses so if they were to do that it would be noticeable thanks to the recording LED…

    Social media platforms can now also offer witness intimidation/jury nullification services!

    It’s a feature.

      Let’s just hope pissing off the judge on mïnute 1 may get them uncomfortable about the rest of the trial.

    I always looked down on two party consent states, but now with the spyware glasses freaks? I’m less sure than ever.

    I mean, I think I should be legally allowed to punch people in the face breaking the glasses just for wearing them, but this isn’t a just world~

      When google glass came out (2012 or 13) it was absolutely hilarious living in the bay and regularly riding muni (public bus) in the mission. I saw multiple people run into the door/poles/etc and also multiple people get their glasses ripped off their face and stomped on. Bus driver just shrugged, bus patrons applauded. I’m no luddite and all for technology but even more for consent.

        These people are not in danger. Any harm to them is reputational. Reputation is the only thing they have in life.

      It always amazes me how Microsoft is though. Stuff like Threads, Instagram, Facebook is incredibly evil but they still work?! I can at least understand why the majority of people who don’t care are there. Microsofts products don’t even work to begin with though. Everything they touch be it Xbox, Teams or Windows is just so bad i wonder how we even ended up here.
