A highly debatable and much discussed question. Personally, I don't believe they add anything to the proceedings and, indeed, may take away much. The unfortunate and human tendency to "play to the cameras" is almost overwhelming on the part of both the defense and the prosecution (see: The O.J. Simpson trial) would be overwhelming and could quite possibly lead to unintended consequences in the meting out of justice.

Are cameras banned in court?

It depends. In most courts, The law was given that the person should not bring their camera whenever something like a testing is in progress. The law was given by the Supreme Court and is still a rule that was applied for no one to take or even think about bringing their cameras. In many states and citys a court is allowed to tell the person who is filming or taking pictures not to film or take photo. The same could be said in stores because the property owner does not want their work to be reused or written. A court will also be notifyed and if a important meeting is recorded or filmed on videotape without the owner's permission. The person responsible can get sued or arrested! Many states carry this rule and still apply and are warned when a person does something like film and breaks the law without permission. The same can be said for a person. If you videotape a person without his or / her permission. The owner can end up calling the police and they can charge you with trespassing on private or public property. That's why the owner wants to take really good care of their property and wants to make sure it's not caught on tape nor on camera. The person may ask the person to turn the camera off without even warning them and if a person refuses to cooperate or listen to them then they can be charged with tresspassing and can be arrested for doing so. The rule is applied to only public places and stores which have the rule for not allowing cameras inside. For example, Many stores like Kmart, Barnes And Noble Bookstore, Wal-Mart, Khol's, Or other places may have this rule so as for people to not film their private property or put their marketing on tape. The person may not allow the other person to record and put the video they made on YouTube, Etc, The person can be responsible for damages and may be liable for copyright infringement and may end up getting a sentence for about to 12 weeks in local jail or prison. In malls the same can be said when the person does not want their face to be shown on TV or on videotape. However if the person who notifys or asks you to stop filming them and you still don't listen to their instructions then they can end up getting or calling the police. They sometimes might have signs that notify filmmakers and photographers not to bring their cameras inside the store. The store and the court has a right to protect their property from being used in television commercials, Marketing, Or even used for advertisements. If the person finds out that the filmmaker has copied or used their face in one of their videos then they could end up sueing the person and or having them charged or placed under arrest. The person may not want their identity exposed and they are known to show their face on television without their permission. A person also can end up notifying the state attorney and also the authorites for having to put the video on YouTube and the person may be liable for damages depending on how bad he copyrights the products or items in the store. Copyright infringement is also a big crime and if the person is seen commiting it or using various products in the store to create or use them to create an ad without permission. Then the owner might get angry and tell them to stop filming and leave the store. All stores have this and there will be consequences if the person is told to stop filming and does not comply. For example, You can't film people or their public property and you certainly cannot film inside a courtroom while it's in progress and someone's inside of it. You cannot also film public meetings or even film court hearings that the person recieves and if you refuse or do not comply with the rules then they may find out and you will end up going to jail. The same with tresspassing and also for attempting not to leave the property when told to do so. The person may contact and notify the authorites and mall security can also be called if the person refuses to put their camera away! The same can be said for police and security if they tell someone that they don't want to be filmed. So is filming a problem in stores, Courtrooms, And even inside local public shopping malls. Yes. Will you get sued if you use the video for advertising, Advertisements, Copyright infringement, Or use the property without the owner's permission. Yes. Will you get into trouble for filming local security officers and police officers inside public places. Yes. Will you be charged and placed under arrest for tresspassing and also for filming public local places without permission! Yes. The merchandise found inside dollar stores and local shopping places may be a crime to film and record without the owner's permission. In fact it is a rule that you do not film or use the products for using in your video to advertise. Some stores may not allow this and some places might tell you to leave and might say no. And other places will let you film without having a problem with attempting to tell you leave or warning you. This applies to all stores and they have this rule and policy because of security reasons so there may be reason why they don't want you filming inside buildings, Malls, Dollar stores, Or anywhere else!

In what branch of government are cameras not allowed?

grrrr.what is the point to this if the questions are never answered ????!!!!! What is the point if questions are so vague they cannot be answered in any clear, simple straight forward way. In the US government one branch of government make the laws, another enforces the law and the third interprets the law. Are you asking about US federal branches of government? "Camera are not Allowed" is not specific enough unless you are referring to Supreme Court hearings in which use of cameras is at the discretion of the court (this is true in virtually all US court rooms). Traditionally the Supreme Court has barred cameras during hearings, but it is not law. Just like using a search engine how you ask the question can make a huge difference in how useful the answer may be.
