A prominent city lawyer spent more than three hours in a holding cell at the Calgary courthouse following an alleged altercation with sheriffs after he was ordered out of court by a judge Friday morning.
An investigation is now being conducted by Calgary police on whether any criminal charges should be laid against the lawyer, Ian Savage, who has been in the news in recent weeks as president of the Calgary Defence Lawyers Association advocating a better Legal Aid deal from the provincial government.
Savage said two other defence lawyers — Norm Kelly and Jim Edgett — had their cellphones confiscated as a result of allegedly trying to take videos of the incident in the hallway outside the 10th floor courtroom. He said they were evicted from the courthouse and told not to return that day. He said they had their phones returned later.

I hope there is a thorough investigation and any wrongdoing is handled accordingly.
I kind of side with the lawyer on this one without really knowing much other than his version. He knows the laws and I don't think he'd be stupid enough to break any especially while in court.
