Basically story highlights:

Cell phone rings mid court session, nobody claims responsability, judge has 46 people jailed.


huge abuse of power here

[Slapper]

I thought courts didnt allow people to bring cell phones in the court building. The one near my house doesnt allow it anyway.

[Kiro]

They check your bags but I don't think they take cellphones. They just tell you to keep them off.

[Faris]

thats pretty funny.

[Blarg]

Are they not allowed to check each phone to figure out which ring matched it?

that would take time, jailing is funnier!

[Kiro]

Not really surprising since every judge I've met in my life has had some kind of high horse power trip kind of thing going on. Wearing a big cloak and sitting in a chair 5 feet above everyone else in the room does that to 'ya I guess.

That'd explain why they were jailed for having it, then.

[Melena]

ehh, when your in a court room you sit down, shut up and listen and speak when told to. They tell you (at least the courts out here) that you'll be removed if your cell phone goes off, so by not admiting it, contempt of court, hello to a day in sing sing.

This is the correct answer.

[Dezzimal]

Way more than 46 people should be jailed for conspiracy to create shitty ringtones.

Why does everyone feel the need to look retarded? Seriously, the damn song repeats the same thing 8000 times.

Those 46 people are a bunch of fucking pussies for not owning up to it.

Do people just randomly go to court hearings? I've always wondered that >_>
