I was wondering if it had something to do with the Caledonia Australis people, since they're constantly threatening judicial/legal/law enforcement workers and establishments. No matter if it's a prank or not, the amount of PSO everywhere last week would indicate they're taking it seriously.

(BTW, that photo I took is opposite the Supreme Court, too. I haven't gone and looked around the Magistrate's court yet, but there's always lunchtime tomorrow!!)
