Another person has been caught using a camera at Lismore Local Court, Richmond Police District alleged this morning.


"This is the second incident of this nature in the last week. If you are coming to Court please turn your phone off and concentrate on the proceedings," Richmond Police District said in a Facebook post.


Police officers will allege that at 10.45am on Friday a 25-year-old Lismore man was in a court room at Lismore Local Court. A Sheriff had seen the 25-year-old using his mobile phone to record a video.


His phone was seized and a photo of the foyer of the court was also seen.



The man was taken to to Lismore Police Station where he told police he took the photos for his Snap Chat account followers.


The photo was deleted and he was issued a Field Court Attendance Notice for 'Use Recording Device In Court Premises'.


He will appear at Lismore Local Court (again) in November.


Lismore Police added: "You will be searched as you enter a Court, so you may also want to leave your weapons and drugs at home. Yes, we do catch people bringing drugs and weapons to Court!"
