Here in Massachusetts Lawyers & Police don’t have to go through the metal detectors. They just walk by, the (patronage job) Courthouse officers just nod to them. No one (except those in the Jury pool) are allowed to take in cellphones either. Hood rats used to photograph anyone testifying against their gang/family then beat the shit out of them later. Of course all defendants are innocent of any crime now due to “social injustice” so I’m not sure how this will play out in the future.

I know for a fact that if a State Trooper shows up at the courthouse in uniform, they will not confiscate anything or ask questions, you dont even need to be there for your own court. same State Trooper shows up for court in plain clothes and they have to give up their firearm.
