Why do bailiffs wear a Masonic Lapel Pin when giving evidence in court?

Bailiff companies train their bailiffs on attending court, including body language, posturing, etiquette and court procedures.

Bailiff's court training material is copied from the police training manual.

Male judges and magistrates are often freemasons, or "brothers", and their masonic lodge is identified by the handshake, but in a court environment, their lapel pin.

It is a secret way to garner favour with the court and police officers.
