Read the article.

Judge ordered no cameras in the court, and even if they were allowed, why would a judge allow one party to bring their own cameras that have facial recognition capabilities?

Camera in courtrooms are for transparency with the public, not for the defense to get facial scans of jurors and witnesses.

All it said was. Cameras not allowed unless the judge says so. not that this judge didn't allow. And a judge being petty as a way of letting a billionaire get away with anything they want is pretty on point for the American justice system.

The use of recording devices and cameras is generally banned in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Directly from the article.

"Judicial officers have the discretion to place limitations on video recording and photography in their courtroom,"

Generally, and discretion. And also... Performative... Has been the usual kid gloves these techbro douchebag have been "disciplined" by the courts. So I was wondering if this was the case. The article wasn't clear. And using meta glasses wouldn't stop these guys from just grabbing all the cell phone data and cross reference with the massive database they all possess.
