why is it that in some courts your not alowed to take fotos or record and are only picture drawn while others?

Question

you can?

Answer 1

It's either based on the nature of the case - meaning if it's a minor as the defendant or victim or a sentstive case, like a rape case - where identities need to be protected. Or it's at the discretion of the judge - many don't want that kind of distraction.

Answer 2

Each court makes its own rules within the laws of the state or government that created it. Some states still have laws banning recording devices in court on the grounds that it might give an unfair trial. Some judges will not allow cameras even when the law does allow it because it interferes with the trial process.

Answer 3

Electronic media is traditionally not let into courtroom proceedings to keep lawyers from becoming media whores and trails from becoming circuses. Some judges will allow media, although I think this is folly.
Look at that incompetent jerk Ito who handled the OJ trial.

Let the cameras in and the world was able to see what a total moron he was! And a murderer went free!

It just does not serve justice.
