Security In Court
Many courts have airport-style security at the entrance to prevent unauthorised items being taken into the court premises. When you enter a court building that has security checking, you will be required to place all of your belongings on the baggage scanner. You will need to go through a walk-through metal detector and may also be scanned with a hand-held metal detector.
Temporary and random scanning operations are held from time to time in courts without permanent screening points. You may also be required to undergo a personal search and remove face coverings for identification purposes.
Unauthorised Items
Items that cannot be brought into court premises include weapons, things that could be used as weapons or that could conceal weapons. It is an offence to bring firearms, knives and prohibited weapons into court premises. Knives and other weapons will be confiscated and handed to police.
Law Court Security Guards may hold other items, which are not authorised, until you leave the premises.
These Include:
- Tools, such as screwdrivers, spanners and hammers
- Scissors and other sharp items
- Motorcycle helmets
- Syringes, which you do not have medical authority to use
These items will be returned to you when you leave the court premises.
People attending court are also not permitted to take alcohol onto court premises.
Security Threats
Threats, including comments made about carrying weapons or explosives or intentions to cause damage or harm, will be taken seriously and entry to the building may be refused. Police may also be called.
Use of mobile phones, cameras and recording equipment
It is an offence to take photographs or to use audio recording devices in courtrooms and court premises. Permission to use these devices must be sought from a judicial officer.
Mobile phones must not disrupt court proceedings. Phones must be switched off before you enter courtrooms.
