Judge bans woman from entering plea in court after she refused to remove burka

[Omicron]

You implied that this judge was discriminating because he rightfully told her to remove her burka.

He said that the judge was discriminting because the judge did *not* tell the woman she had to take it off by virtue of British Custom.

The judge should have said, "It's the British custom for people in court to be unmasked, therefore, because you're in a British court, you must unmak yourself".

Because the judge did *not* say that, it implies the judge was motivated by discrimination.

The judge has bias and the case could be tossed or another judge selected to take over.

And it's still only $15 for a USB thumb print scanner

I doubt you could buy any kind of a scanner for fifteen dollars. With an ink pad and ink you could make a thumb print.

Actually, he's right. You can buy thumb-print readers for $15. The software and systems to back it up are a different issue, but the readers themselves are getting that cheep.

Several years ago a study was done comparing the accuracy and reliability of things like thumb-print scanner and retina-scanners etc., and the thumb-print readers won, which means all those sci-fi shows you saw where people get retina scans isn't going to happen in the long run.
