Initial post May 14: British comedian Jimmy Carr is facing a police investigation after apparently taking a photograph inside a court building, reports The Telegraph.

Carr, 35, who was in court on Wednesday to answer a charge of speeding at 50mph in a 40mph limit posted the picture on his Twitter website.

He is believed to have used his mobile phone to take a picture of a sign banning photographs from being taken inside the magistrates court in Sudbury, Suffolk.

The Suffolk Magistrates Courts' notice stated: "It is a criminal offence to take photographs in court buildings".

Seems pretty harmless. It's clear he meant no disrespect because he didn't take a picture inside the courtoom. Read full article.
