Daplumma Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Down here if you dont register to vote you dont get picked for jury duty.If you are self employed you can be excused or serve if you choose to.I know a few sucessful people who take the time to do their civic duty and would have no problem giving up a day or two to do so,but a week would get me in hot water with my customers.Good on you for doing your duty!

kingjames_2nd Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I got slapped with jury duty twice and audited by the tax man all before turning 22. I told the court people I ws a student and couldnt take time away from school and avoided those ones. The tax man was a different story. I had claimed my rent for the year but had no reciept. the tax man wanted a recpiept but my land lady being the scum hose that she was, wouldnt pass one over. so after alot of hastle I ended up paying the tax man the money he said I owed, moved out of the town house and havent delt with those government types since.

Handlebarz Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Dang Brian dounds like you had a fun filled day. I was called a couple years ago we all sat there for a long time the judge was also sitting on the bench not looking happy as there was no defence there (ala balitmore last night) he then had another person aproch him and tell him that there as a agreement the night before or on the Friday befoer I forget which day but this made him super happy as he assured us that the person who waisted our time would make it up for all of us and there was 1 person who was a no show he also assured us that they would be sitting in the court to make up the time for each of us so as I see it if there was 100 of us for 3 hours they would get to sit there for 300 hrs it pays to show up.
