What's the most ridiculous thing you've seen in court?

So I was the intern for a judge. Most of his cases were related to substances, DUI, or working girls.

One day, a woman is brought up from jail for a hearing, substance-related. She's a regular in the

courtroom and is in one of the substance dependency programs. The judge asked,

Tell me what happened. Well, I was leaving the methadone clinic and this guy asked if I wanted

He then casually walks through the metal detector and looks back to the officer to get his

The three officers and several people standing around are stunned.

After a few seconds, the officer with the basket says, uh, put your hands behind your back? The guy didn't fight them,

he just refused to believe he'd done anything wrong. He was there for a substance-related

offense. I was locked up in a county jail for probation violation. They let inmates out at

midnight on their release date, and they have to check out at the window by the holding cell

I was in at the time to get their belongings. So an inmate walks up to the window to acquire his street clothes
