Dr.

Miller, the state of Colorado approves of “media” in the court room, however only one still
camera, one TV camera and one audio recording device is allowed, also no artificial lighting can
be used. Also, the camera operator must remain in place and not move about until the
proceeding. Colorado also request that media coverage of the trail needs a form and must be
completed and approved. This ruling is very different from the State of Delaware, which does
not allow no Photographic or audio-visual equipment of any kind, this includes camera, video
and audio recorder. This state does not allow any Electronic device or equipment in the court
room, this ruling is very interesting because the state of Minnesota also does not allow no
visual or audio recordings, except the recording made as the official court record, shall be
taken in any courtroom, area of a courthouse where courtrooms are located, or other area
designated by order of the chief judge made available in the office of the court administrator
in the county, during a trial or hearing of any case or special proceeding incident to a trial or
hearing, or in connection with any grand jury proceedings. Visual coverage or recording
includes film, video, and still photography. This rule may also be superseded by specific rules
through the Minnesota Supreme Court involving to use of cameras in the courtroom for
courtroom security purposes, for use of video or audio recording of proceedings to create the
official recording of the case, or for interactive video hearings pursuant.
