Phone Bans in Courts: Security and Confidentiality
Courts around the world are restricting phone use. Tamper-evident pouches offer a fast, enforceable solution.
The enforcement gap in courthouses
Most courtrooms prohibit photography, recording and live broadcasting. Yet visitors often ignore notices, creating security risks and contempt-of-court concerns. Security staff need a fast way to enforce the rule at scale.
How tamper-evident pouches work
PhoneLock pouches with tamper-evident tags solve this at the entrance. Each visitor locks their phone before entering; the visible tag makes any unauthorised opening obvious. At the end of the session, a single magnetic key unlocks the pouch in seconds.
Why it beats confiscation
The system does not require storage, does not slow down security queues, and removes the confrontational aspect of confiscation. Visitors keep their property, and the court keeps control.
