RI Judiciary bars public from bringing liquids into courthouses

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Rhode Island judiciary has instituted a new policy banning the general public from bringing liquids into any state courthouse. The policy has been in effect since 2007 in the Traffic Tribunal but has now been expanded, effective Jan. 9, to all courthouses throughout the state.
The ban -- which a court spokesman said has been instituted as a security measure -- applies to members of the public and anyone who is not a judge, juror, court staffer, Rhode Island lawyer or building tenant.
People will be allowed to buy beverages in the courthouse cafeterias, but if they go outside, they won't be allowed to bring the liquids back in.
