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 judge holding a defendant in contempt of court for violating a serious order to not bring recording equipment into the courtroom, is neither "anarchy" nor "vigilantism." In an "organized rules-based justice system," a defendant who violated a court order by bringing recording equipment into the courtroom *would* be held in contempt, and depending on the severity, may face jail time (such as perhaps if that recording equipment has facial recognition technology). This isn't about whether or not we "dislike" him. But just because he's widely disliked doesn't make him immune to prosecution. What the fuck are you smoking?
