Why no Photography allowed in Court? Out of Date rules still in effect in 21 Century

[Force 136]

From FAQ page of the State courts:

8. Can I take photographs, or record the proceedings on a video and/or voice-recorder?

Photography, video and/or audio recording of court proceedings in the Courtroom is not allowed.

You are also not allowed to take photographs and/or video within the Court building.

Upon entering the Court building, you are required to deposit your cameras, video and audio recorders at the Security counter.

If you are found taking photographs, video and/or audio-recording in the Courtroom or within the Court building, the Police/Security officer will have your statement taken and your recordings deleted.

Why the prohibition?

Does the Courts have something to hide?
