I throw them away every time I get one

Been like 10 years and have never got in trouble or anything



Should I be worried ?
 
You should not be worried. Unless it was certified mail that you signed, how can it be confirmed that you got it?
 
The first time I got a summons for jury duty, I ignored it for like a year and a half before they sent me the "BRING YO ASS" letter. Fortunately, I only went for two days and dodged being picked for a case
 
When I got my selective service card as a teenager I threw it away. Never heard anything about it.
 
Just a guess on my part, but was thinking just like you randomly get chosen from a pool for jury duty. They probably have random pool of people they choose to go after and don't have the resources to go after everyone.
 
My friend did the same, then I asked him if he saw the part where it says you can get a 5k fine for not submitting it. Lol

I doubt anything will happen though, they never bothered my friend again.

I want to be on a jury, and DOMINATE the other jury people with my insane brilliance cementing me as king of the jury. I shall bring forth my verdict and all the jury's men will agree wholeheartedly and I shall free them from this unnerving plight
 
I never registered for the draft as a youth.....Why you ask? Because fuck whitey.
 
That summons is an official court order compelling you to appear - ignore it at your own risk.

Just don't come whining on here when the SWAT team breaks down you door and shoots your dog - all "just because I ignored a few letters".
 
The last time I was called they had a website to register on and you checked online or called a number. The day we showed up there were 7 people missing and the judge had the clerk get warrants made up. There were still over 20 potential jurors there. It was a case where the county was trying to get an old man committed and I had fought the county to keep my dad home so I was excused.

The case I was a potential for involved a cop giving testimony. A bunch of other jurors pretty much said they didn't like/trust cops. I dunno if they were truthful or not but they got excused. I got excused because I knew the administrative judge of the city I'm in.
 
I used to throw them away. Then I moved and got one that said if you live 70+ miles from the courthouse you're exempt. I did a mapquest and came out at 71 miles. I sent them the response with the mapped out distance highlighted and that's the last I heard. :cool:
 
I used to know this kid who threw away his Jury Summons once.

We send knee pads to the Maricopa County jail about once a month for him.
 
I used to get called in every year. It really started to piss me off because I would meet people who never had to go in even once. I found a good technique to not get picked for a trial is just make up a reason why you can't be unbiased.

Make sure your reason is not too outrageous or dumb, otherwise you run the risk of pissing off the judge and he won't dismiss you, he will just throw you back in the jury pool because you knows you are full of shit. Just come across as ignorant and that you really believe what you are saying.

would you say youre more scared of the judicial system than of serial killers ?
 
Just show up for jury duty and when they question you, act like the most prejudiced asshole that ever walked the face of the earth. No fine, no more wasted days at the courthouse.
 
I get them all the time and usually call the night before to find out they don't need me.
