Not in any of the courthouses I've ever worked at they won't.He/She will be checked for electric devices before entering.

Here in RI, you have to go through metal detectors, but all you have to do is place your stuff in bins and send it through the xray machine (and you walk through the detectors, of course). During the three years of court battles I drove my boyfriend to, I brought through my cell phone (which can record and take pictures) portable game systems, a CD player.. It doesn't seem like much of a stretch to bring a tape recorder.WTF?
You're NOT telling me there are no metal detectors?!
Tape recorders are made with metal... They are contraband

Can I tell you how many of the CRC's go out the window for one reason or another? No, they aren't allowed, however, no one is sitting at the door of the courtroom staring at what everyone has in their possession.well, how about the 2008 California Rules of Court for an answer.
Not arguing but since there is a rule in place, that rule can be imposed and as such, if OP records the hearing, OP could be subject to the penalties.Can I tell you how many of the CRC's go out the window for one reason or another?
