Had to go to the New Castle "Criminal Justice Center" today to see the County Clerks office. Expected the "new" security protocol there and got more than I expected. One way in, one way out, deputy saying empty pockets in this container, and a big scanner to walk through. All expected, so I had left critical material in the truck before I went in. I did not expect the NO CELL PHONES in building sign. Deputy was very nice when I told him I had cell in my pocket and was unaware until I saw the sign, and he said I would have to take it back to vehicle as "The Judge" has ordered no phones in building.
WTF!!! Is this really a security issue or is it paranoid(afraid that someone will record something like a rough takedown) or is "The Judge" PO'ed at cell phones ringing when he walks down the hallway? I get the need for this policy in the actual courtroom, but the whole building is ridiculous.
May rant for the day, carry on.
