Media in the Courtroom

Media in the Courtroom

Viewing television is perfectly legal especially when people are viewing from their own homes, in their own living rooms. The entire general public has a right to view television. There seems to be a bit of controversy surrounding media in the courtroom and courtroom cases being viewed by the general public. But by placing media in the courtroom for televised viewing via their television sets in their living rooms seems very appropriate. Let's take a look at why the public should be allowed to have media placed in the courtroom so that courtroom cases can be viewed from television sets at home.

Television today has grown in capacity to what it used to be many years ago. Today there are a variety of different kinds and sorts of new television shows, series and documentaries. There are all kinds of movies from The Love Bug to the latest thug. There are even different court judges on TV from Divorce Court to The Peoples' Court. But, one television series that isn't available on TV is the actual courtroom in your downtown city being televised as a TV show. Of course, we know that real court is not for fun and laughter but what real down to earth citizen that is heavily involved in their community and that is for the good of their city would not want to have a TV show of the actual downtown courtroom televised in their living room? Wouldn't you want the media to bring you up-to-date breaking information of the person that broke a law in your city? These are the reasons why there should be media in the courtroom. Putting media in the courtroom worldwide could stop a lot of controversy for the taxpaying citizens. Some people believe that those involved in court cases, the criminal? Possibly! Are entitle to privacy during their hearings and trials and that the general public should not have access to these hearings and trials. Most of the people responsible for these hearings and trials being possible are the general public, taxpayers, that is. These are the people that have paid in advance with their hard earned, tax paid dollars for access to these events. Maybe there is some big dark secret to criminal court cases that doesn't include the general public, the taxpaying citizens who are responsible for paying the salaries of the judges, who preside over these hearings and the district attorneys who are responsible for the prosecution of those being heard in court and all their staff, the taxpaying citizens who provided for the courts and jails, and is also responsible for the housing, feeding and clothing these criminals.
