    I had jury duty once and the air conditioning was acting up. Judge announced we would all be moving to a different room as a result, which we did.

    Guess it isn’t a luxury when it’s a judge’s place of work.

      For ambulances, if the air conditioning is broken in the patient compartment it’s considered a critical fault and the vehicle needs to be out of service. In the cab it’s a minor. Maybe it’s in case a judge needs to be transported.
