Instead of making a basic ass rule like "no climbing on top of tables to do flash photography", we HAVE to ban ALL PHOTOGRAPHY FOR ETERNITY!??
CAN'T EVEN MANDATE A FUCKING COURT APPOINTED PHOTOGRAPHER FOR FUCKS SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE?????????????????????
To be fair, in 1937 safety film was still fairly new (like 30 years old) and the only alternative was nitrocellulose whereas courtroom sketches were being done in the US as far back as John Brown's era and were definitively not 'distracting to a fair trial', so it isn't unreasonable to say "don't fix what's not broken" and just ban cameras outright at the time lol. Especially given even with safety film, flash photography was blinding and obnoxious (loud shutters, etc) even just assuming a single photographer.
Thats fair and all
I'm Just really fuckin mad because its been 90 (300) years of no one changing any of the dumb shit stuff in this damn country
Even small obvious things, fucks sake
