    I had an older relative who in his 20s had a small kitchen fire (damaged some cabinet covers) in an apartment they were renting, and that led to a small court case as each side blamed the other (tenant and owner). The lawyer for the apartments was quite confident and put up a bunch of large posters of floor plans and clearly had some big rationale to present on why it was the tenants fault.
    His first questions was “so, Mr. (Name)….is this a floor plan of your apartment?” To which my relative said “No….that looks the layout of one of the other one bedroom floor plans, but mine is completely different.”
    That took a lot of the air out of his argument, as he tried to work around the fact that he based his theory on the wrong floor plan and the kitchen layout was very different. and my relative won the case.

    I've been to multiple courthouses across my state and have never once been patted down. Like an airport, you out your stuff in the bin for the xray and walk through the metal detector. Even if the detector beeps (belt buckle, in my case), you just get a pass over with the handheld detector to verify what set it off. All the security guards I've ever dealt with have been super chill.

    Most courts just have a metal detector, so you're unlikely to get patted-down. Your bags go through an X-ray scanner. My wife accidentally forgot to leave her taser in the car once, so we ditched it in the bushes outside the courthouse and we picked it up when leaving

    The answer is - no you don't get patted down before going in to court (unless you were brought there from the jail via the police). You go through a metal detector, which will usually catch weapons like guns or knives, but little plastic baggies of drugs wouldn't set it off.

    Here’s another historical one. If you watch The Fat Electrician, you’ll recognize this one
    Cassius Clay was an abolitionist.
    After giving a speech, there was an assassination attempt on his life. His Bowie knife’s sheath catches the assassin’s bullet, he draws said knife and starts rearranging his assailant’s face. Eventually, the assassin’s goons collect enough of their marbles back to pull Cassius off him before the Assassin was about to have his “facial features shoved up his ass”
    So the assassin takes him to court for “General Mayhem” as he figured that the first slice Cassius made them even.
    Cassius, meanwhile, calls on his cousin. His cousin’s entire argument was basically “I’m sorry, I thought this was America”
    And the judge ruled in Cassius’ favor!
