PA LAWMAKERS EYEING PLAN FOR CAMERAS IN STATE COURTROOMS

Pennsylvania lawmakers are eyeing a plan to put cameras in the state’s courtrooms. State Representative Jamie Flick says he wants to get cameras into court as a way to hold the justice system accountable. Unlike many other states, Pennsylvania doesn’t allow cameras to broadcast or even take pictures of video of court proceedings. Flick says it would be better for the people, and better for the justice system to inject a little transparency. He hopes to file his legislation by the beginning of June.
