I'm not sure what good it would do to film all court cases (the majority of which are sooooo booooooring...) and then allow free access to the public to view them. It would be nothing more than titillation in most cases. There is a public gallery in court, if people are interested in a case there's nothing to stop them sitting in. Expecting to have a case offered up like a movie is lazy and dangerous. As for transparency... they're already transparent. Sometimes you just have to trust the legal system. It is far from perfect, but it's the best system we have.
Hey Alex, nice to see you.
