(3) During the trial on which a juror is serving, and during jury
deliberations, a juror shall not use electronic devices for any of the
following purposes:
(2) At the time the device is returned to the owner, the judge or quasi-
judicial officer may order the owner of the device to delete any
recordings or images taken with the device of the court proceedings
prior to its confiscation, or recordings or images that the judge
determines should be deleted, to prevent disruption to the judicial
proceedings, to preserve the orderly administration of justice, to
protect the rule of sequestration of witnesses, to preserve court
security, and to preserve the privacy of rights of litigants, witnesses,
or other participants in the judicial proceedings. If the owner objects
to deleting the recordings or images, the device may be kept by the
judge until a hearing can be held on the issue of whether such
recording or image is going to be deleted.
(3) Chief judges retain the authority to control the use of electronic
devices in any area of the courthouse when the use of such devices
would be disruptive to the judicial proceeding, be contrary to the
orderly administration of justice, violate the rule of sequestration of
witnesses, interfere with court security, or violate the privacy rights of
litigants, witnesses, or other participants in the judicial proceeding.
Such areas include, but are not limited to, ingress and egress to
courtrooms, chambers, and conference rooms, and secure areas
adjacent to courthouse entrances.
(4) Chief judges, presiding judges, and quasi-judicial officers may set
the parameters for the use of electronic devices in all proceedings, or
in a particular proceeding, via administrative orders, standing orders,
or orders in a specific case. If any person violates such an order, the
judge who entered the order may enforce the order by deleting any
recordings or images in accordance with subdivision (c)(1)(B) or under
the court’s civil contempt power, or under its criminal contempt power
under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.830.
(d) Exceptions.
