You will need to undergo a security screening before entering the State Courts Building. This screening is similar to that at airports.

When you enter, they will walk through a metal detector. Their belongings, including all food and drinks, will be screened via X-ray machines.

Examples of items that are not allowed into the court buildings include:

  1. Weapons, dangerous items and prohibited tobacco products as listed on the Health Sciences Authority website, including e-cigarettes. You will be referred to the police if you have these items.
  2. Sharp objects such as scissors, pen knives and card knives.
  3. Flammable items such as aerosol sprays.
  4. Recording devices such as cameras, video cameras and voice recorders. You will be asked to leave such devices at the security counter when you enter.

This list of prohibited items is not exhaustive. The security personnel will inform them if they have items that must be deposited at the security counter.
