Tired of getting jury duty?
I decided to stop voting.
If they want me for jury duty again then they can try to hunt me down.  |

Jury roles are taken from driving license records.
Good luck.

and how often before that? It seemed you were implying you'd had to serve at least two or three times?
over here the data is taken from an annual poll form through the door. It says you may be expected to be called to j.s around once every 7-10 years, but so far I've only ever been called once.

If that's been the only time you were called, what are you bitching about? Most courts in moderately large cities have a policy of exempting jurors from future duty for a period of years. |

well if you do, its an interesting experience. if frustrating. people tell the biggest whoppers, you know they get up on that stand and tell lies. both sides. and the court officials play the jury trying to score points. it's a mine field but it opens your eyes. I hope you don't get called to a really harrowing case, though. It can be devastating for some and drag on months.

Oh, ffs! 
Tell you what. Three years from now if they call you in again, show them this thread and tell them how you intend to take your wrath out on the defendant. If they don't throw you in jail, they'll probably send you home. |

The last time I got called for Jury Duty I just cut and paste one of Byron in Exile's rants and read it out loud. They walked me out of the building. I doubt I'll ever be called again... |

Refuse to take an oath because of your beliefs and tell the judge you believe in the common law right of jury nullification. Works everytime.

Here I thought it was from my voting history, too. Bronze, it's from driving license records? Well, no wonder. *knocks on wood
I found it quite easy to get out of jury duty. Twasn't the minor car accident I'd endured on my way to the court house on day 2 or 3 (not my fault) - but rather my forthright and colorful way with words.
Defense attorney on my ass with question after question after question. I'd finally had enough and said something like, "Well, in my opinion, and I think I speak for everyone here, there is something seriously wrong with a man who repeatedly rapes and victimizes small children. Does he need help? Yes. Do I think the state should pay for such help rather than send him to prison? Well, I don't know. I guess that's all up to you folks willing to heal him."
Bam. I was axed on outta there and in that huge parking lot I wondered, 'Is victimize even a word? If not, it is now.'

I know California uses both voter registration and driver's license records so it's theoretically possible for someone to get two jury notices in one month. I only know this because I had to to report for jury duty in the summer and they made us watch an orientation video.
It really sucks if you're a teacher because you have to put off the jury duty until the summer and then you don't get paid for jury duty because you're not missing work.  I guess I shouldn't complain that much since there are people making a lot more money than me that lose out on more money if they have to do jury duty. |

What confuses me is why the voters have not revolted and demanded a fix to this near total loss of pay aspect where jury duty is concerned.
People who get sequestered for OJ Simpson style trials are pretty much financially ruined. |
