I've always gotten out of it by moving to rapidly. The court system never contacts me until I live in a different county or state or country. So they contact me and I say "Oh sure, I can be there, is it okay that I'm not a resident?"
The real reason why @scottalanmiller keeps his family on the go.
That and the murders...

A rolling stone gathers no jury duty...

Anyone seen any sign of the architect who designed that parking garage?

Eww... paper. That's what people wipe their bottoms with.

Getting ready to head to lunch!

I find the glossy paper used in magazines to not be quite so good at this.

Posts are slowly picking up and views are headed up. Looks like just a slow start to a Monday.

Trials rarely go to jury here, and it's BS. Defendant has to pay a lot of the costs of a jury trial. Something I'd change if declared supreme ruler of the great white north.

That seems wrong. So all you have to do is threaten to have a jury and the poor have no choice but to give up?

Wow, that's kind of like not even being a free country at all. The courts are exclusively for the rich? Seems like just taking people to court would be a full time activity. And I thought that the US was litigious!

I'm gonna guess that it's way easier to get arrested in the US though. Canadian police seem (to an outsider) to be far less aggressive and heavy-handed than US cops. I don't think having a chip on your shoulder is required to be a Canadian cop (definitely required in all parts of the US).

Especially considering the amount of court time and prison space non-violent drug "offenders" take up here in the US. It's appalling.

I believe it's an extra couple grand to do it, so yeah. Agreed, it's BS.
That's only for jury trials though, so chances are good you "done fucked up" well before that heheh.

"Chances are" seems like a bad way to have that work, though
