Chief Judge Mark Mahon is Wrong!

[The_Choose_1]

After reading The Florida Times Union this morning 7/8/2015 while on the toilet. The FTU said that "Mahon wrote a new administrative order that "vacates and supersedes" the previous one. It continues the ban against PHOTOGRAPHY of secure areas and security features." I'm a Freelance Photographer and I have the right to take photos or videos while I'm on public space. Case Closed! But to tell you the truth I have no use in taking photos or videos of the Court House. Unless a reason pops up like a protest or I want to take a photo of this ugly overpriced Taj Mahal.

^ perhaps you should look at what are the banned areas....it is basically a 5 block area of downtown!

With attacks on judges being a very real problem, I have no problem banning photography of security measures or secure areas, the latter of  which would include the judges' parking area, where anyone could snap their license plates and/or personal vehicles and use that to further a physical attack against a judge.

So lets give up personal freedoms of the press? I don't think so. If the judge feels threaten he should have a security detail paid by the taxpayers. And he doesn't want that then have a special plate placed on his car in which wouldn't give his home info.

I hope a higher court looks at these new rules and overturns them. Now for this protester that started all of this may need some good mental health counseling. I have looked at his twitter account and he has a right to his opinion but

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -

Chief Judge Mark Mahon on Wednesday rescinded a week-old administrative order that limited photography and certain forms of protest on the grounds of the Duval County Courthouse. "Good Move Judge Mahon!"

While the right decision was made, screw this guy. He's violated the Constitution and needs to be tried as such.   
Any judge that goes against the Constitution should be, at the very least, fired  if not tried for worse.

One could argue that Supreme Court justices who are on the losing side of any given constitutional question are by definition "going against the constitution."  Should they be tried and fired?

Right? Tough crowd.

I believe the order was meant to be temporary while that guys trial was taking place.

Is this one of those things where people who disagree on constitutional issues are tyrannical statist...?  If so, its a quick ride to crazy town.

Your quote "If so, its a quick ride to crazy town." And I said "AKIRA I bet you will be driving the bus?" And now I say to you can't your figure out what I'm saying? I bet you would be driving the Crazy Bus. OK

If he is wrong, they will appeal it. DCA will have a chance at it. If they agree, I can guarantee you that he is most likely right according to the law. Morally you may have qualms, but just let the issue play out in the legal system.

He rescinded the order a week after he put it in effect.  I don't believe it was meant to last more than a couple days.  The concern was a group of protesters to Hoffman's trail that were using photography as a pretext to disrupt the normal business of the court. 

C1, with your wonky use of colors, capitalization, grammar, and now question marks, its hard to tell what you mean to say.

Photography isn't a crime akira Freedom of the press and with Fox News you don't have to have a Journalism degree to be a member of the press.
