The official record taken word for word by the stenographer? Why would you need to challenge that? Are you implying something that's more than one in a million?

That's precisely the question, yes.

Court cases aren't about the common occurrences.

Don't be vague on purpose. Say what you're implying.

Usually they still are. But I'm talking about things being very rare among court cases. Do you think there is a systemic problem of false court transcripts? And I really don't think such a thing is the reason not to allow recording.


We do certain things to avoid the image of impropriety.

We also look askance at people who refuse to allow oversight into their work.


That oversight is a big part of why the court reporter exists, and has existed since long before recording technology was invented. Keeping things the same is not a refusal of oversight.
