Use of Embedded Camera Lands Man in Jail
"A man has been given a six-month custodial sentence for taking photos in court with his mobile phone. Shaun Nash, 19, also used the phone to take video footage while sitting in the public gallery during a robbery trial at Bristol Crown Court. Nash, of Wilinton Road, Knowle West, pleaded guilty to contempt of court. Sentencing Nash, Judge Michael Roach said: "What you did was extremely serious. The public need to know that mobile phones cannot be used in court.""
And folks ask why embedded camera could cause problems. ;-) This is exactly the soft of thing that is causing a backlash against embedded cameras. I was shopping for a new mobile phone and contract this weekend and the number of phones with Bluetooth and without an embedded camera, was exactly 0. Choice? I�m sure they�ve heard of it. Two German Mobile Telcos seem to spotted a gap in the market, but that does not help the rest of us who don't live in Germany. :? Four out of the seven new VGA PPCs have a camera, which is a very bad trend. All I am asking for is the opportunity to have a phone and Pocket PC without a camera. As they would be lighter, cheaper and smaller, why is that such a hard thing?
