This poll is mindbending.

All you gotta do is say you don't believe in the justice system :V

Wow....when I went to serve for jury duty (April 2000, I think it was), we got $5 total.
We went to the first case, I wasn't picked, and when we got back to the jury pool room, we were informed all cases had either been settled or postponed, so we got paid and were allowed to leave.

The amount of money jury duty gives to cover missing work is laughable which is why I always find a way to get out of it.

Nah, I just have my boss send an email to the courts and I get auto-excused lol. Fuck that noise >_> Before I worked for the govt, I literally would spend $12 on a roundtrip train ticket and would get paid $8 for jury duty

My job not only excuses me for jury duty but pays me the difference between the piddly few bucks I get from jury duty and what I would have been paid had I worked that day.
