The area designated shall provide reasonable access to coverage. 2. All equipment shall be in place and tested 15 minutes in advance of the time the court is called to order and should be as unobtrusive as possible. If equipment is not in place prior to a court hearing, a judge may deny access until a break in the proceeding. 3. Still photography. The still camera photographer shall be positioned in such locations in the court facility as shall be designated by the judge. The areas designated shall provide reasonable access to coverage. The still camera photographer shall assume a fixed position within the designated area, and once the photographer is positioned, such photographer shall not move about in any way as to attract attention. If the still camera being used produces audible noise, the photographer shall limit the number of photographs so as not to distract from the court proceeding. 4. Wires. Wires, microphones, and similar equipment shall be placed as unobtrusively as possible within the courtroom at least 15 minutes before the proceedings begin and will be secured or taped down when this is appropriate. All wiring shall be unobtrusive or hidden, and must be placed where it will not interfere with anyone or constitute a hazard. The bailiff shall inspect the location of any wires, microphones, and other equipment to see that they comply with these rules. Added; effective 5/30/1988; amended effective 8/31/2011.
