This is a somewhat limited bit not insignificant ruling. Techdirt reports that the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts has “sort of” decided that the Supreme Court’s Riley decision isn’t just for phones. It covers digital cameras, too.

In the case in question, a robbery suspect’s backpack was searched. In it, amongst other things, they found a camera.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer took a break from the courtroom to promote his new book on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.

The book was only briefly mentioned but Colbert took the opportunity to gain insight regarding various court-related issues, including why cameras are still banned in the highest federal court in the United States.

“Why can’t we watch you if the Supreme Court repeatedly rules that we can be watched by the government?” Colbert asked the justice.

Obviously used to being asked that very same question, justice Breyer was quick to defend and explain the ban, though he admitted it could be a “fabulous educational process”.
