A US judge has been removed from the bench for jailing an entire courtroom audience after none of them admitted being responsible for a ringing phone.

After a brief recess, Judge Restaino returned to the bench and again asked who had been responsible for the ringing phone.

When no-one came forward, the judge ordered that the entire courtroom audience of 46 people be taken into custody and set bail at $1,500.

The audience and defendants were then taken to Niagara City jail, where they were searched and packed into crowded cells.

Fourteen people who could not post bail were later shackled and transported to another prison.

I think its hillarious, I reckon there are probably alot of judges that want to do things like that, not fair but quite funny

As long as the people he sent down don't end up with criminal records, then yeah it is quite funny :P.

It's called Contempt of Court which is a criminal offence, and even judges and magistrates in this country have the same power, but would hopefully show some judgement and restraint before going to such measures....................
