Filming trials in UK courts

I think there would always be a restriction on the type of trial that could be shown. Some trials involve really horrible evidence with details of gory or sexual activities which I don't think would ever be deemed suitable (least I think so).

As it's only the sentencing that's being filmed, when the judge explains how they have reached their verdict, then it's hardly a media circus.

What it might do is give people more insight into the grounds on which the sentence was decided and perhaps stop them having knee jerk reactions to some sentences.

Though, TBH, I don't think that people will be that interested once the novelty has worn off.

It seems a terrible invasion of privacy for the victims, relatives and also the accused at possibly the lowest moment of their lives. Sensationalism? Oversharing? A complete lack of respect for individuals? I don't understand why we all need to share in this and won't be watching.

British culture is very different than the USA
Our judges don’t allow the kind of grandstanding we’ve seen in those big trials.

I’m unsure about whether entire trials should be shown. Trials of paedophiles, sex offenders could be used by awful people as sexual entertainment
