Objection sustained!  A Florida traffic court judge was busted after a man told police that she used her cell phone to take pictures of him standing at a courthouse urinal, authorities said.  Rhonda Hollander, 47, was arrested last week after her kooky candid camera shots inside the men's room at the West Regional Courthouse, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office.  A report of the encounter says Willie Jackson Jr. was "getting ready to urinate" when Hollander appeared at the adjoining urinal and began snapping away.  She then took photos of another man entering the restroom before she bolted, ducking inside another judge's chambers. Police were summoned and quickly located Hollander, who admitted taking the pictures.  But the judge refused to surrender her cell phone, insisting "it was a public restroom and that she was not breaking any kind of laws," the report said.  Hollander then started snapping pictures of the arresting officer - and bit his finger when he pointed at her and ordered the judge to stop shooting, the report said.  The snapshots led to a mug shot and Hollander was eventually released on $700 bail for resisting an officer, assault on an officer and obstruction with violence.  Under advice of her lawyer, Hollander declined comment when contacted by NBCMiami.com.  lmcshane@nydailynews.com
