a small amount of jailtime is a slap on the wrist. A scolding is nothing.

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's not even a slap on the wrist.

You sound like someone who has never experienced court outside of tv or movies. The courts process is entirely pragmatic. The entire point is to remove all emotions. The judge is not going to presume malice. The person most at risk here is their council. It they were aware of this stunt they could cause themselves serious damage.

Jailtime for wearing glasses that can record videos in the courtroom? Maybe the death penalty while you are at it?

Holy shit. Kudos to this judge for knowing their shit and acting on it. I love it.

Each and every individual should have been arrested then and there. Imagine walking into a major criminal trial with a film camera on your shoulder.

Isn't it usual procedure that everyone else enters the courtroom and takes their places before the judge walks in? So the team would have had ample opportunity to film, record and facially-recognize the jury before Judge Kuhl made them take off the spyglasses.

noting that any use of facial recognition technology to identify the jurors was banned

For that reason alone, she should have held them in contempt and declared a mistrial before wasting anyone else's time.

Zuck and his crew should've been arrested on-site for such an egregious breach of privacy and mockery of the justice system. And the next set of jurors should've been immediately informed of why there was a mistrial, and the very obvious danger of the defendant having even one frame of video with a jurors face in it.

Instead, he got free viral marketing.

What a fucking clownshow.

No charges?

There's no law anymore. These people have already gotten away with things much worse.

It's because they know that they ARE above the law. They've gotten away with things that would spell life in prison for you or I. They have the head of the America regime cozied up to. They were all at several dinner parties on Little St. James Island.

I spent a few sessions in court last year and they disallow all phone use except for the attorneys and other officials.

These guys went full techbro. Never go full techbro.

Yea, he better watch out or he's gonna get a $6000 fine instead of $5000.

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.

Don't stick up for the zuck, he's got fucking billions to pour into other people doing it for him.

First of all you can’t use them for 10-12 hours a day because the battery only lasts like 2 hours. Which is a bit silly for glasses.

They knew what they were doing, as if ignorance would be an excuse. No one wears camera glasses to court just forgetting about it. As if they wear the things on their own time, they probably wouldn't be caught dead wearing that garbage in their free time outside of hyping the product at work. They would have custom made something.

A lot of these products used to be good. 25 years ago, Outlook was the only option for mail and calendar because they worked well and nothing else was as simple or integrated. Windows XP brought an enterprise-class OS with true multitasking to the consumer. MSN messenger didn't have all the features of Teams, but it was a serious contender in the IM space. And now, I have Outlook every now and then telling me I have new mail but I cant see it until I restart the app, Windows gets shittier and more intrusive every day, and Teams on Android cant send me a notification about an upcoming meeting until the meeting actually starts, if I get a notification at all. I also wonder how they ended up this way given they were class leaders just decades ago. Now if we can get alternatives that don't have all the problems of Microsoft at its heyday, let alone now, that would be amazing. I already have my console alternative, just a few more pieces.

Do…do you know how a jury works?

Read the article. Judge ordered no cameras in the court, and even if they were allowed, why would a judge allow one party to bring their own cameras _that have facial recognition capabilities_? Camera in courtrooms are for transparency with the public, not for the defense to get facial scans of jurors and witnesses.

According to the articles I read, sure doesn't seem like it. ironic, I know. The articles we're getting are made by journalists who are listening and writing down what they see.
