Like- they say “oh you are very appreciated to be in the jury” but then FINE YOU if you don’t go! Like why?! What did I do?! Why am I in trouble?!

saying youre appreciated is the same as saying 'we're thanking you in advance cuz we expect you to be here'

and since it's a court proceeding, technically a call to jury duty is a court summons. So if you dodge it, its along the same lines as ignoring a court summons. thus the fine

@EldritchHorror-Davadio health_and_safety emoji_events

You can get exempted- for work purposes, or by reason of age or illness or something- but you have to let them know that. Ignoring it will cause problems, because in a way, the court systems look at that as you refusing to uphold someone else's right to a fair and unbiased trial

You're not doing that, but that's how they justify cranking money out of you for not showing up

Ah. And thus the fine. Because if enough people felt that way, nobody would ever get a fair jury trial, which would fundamentally change our court system and make our already-broken justice system even more broken :/

Youre fully allowed to feel that way, and certainly, the methods that exist in the court system of extracting money from people are… extremely problematic.

Yup- everyone thinks jury duty is a punishment cause of how they go about it.
