I had jury duty this week. Not needed Monday. Had to go in Tuesday. Got kicked out via Voir Dire. They told me last night my service was over. I understand about the civic duty thing. It cost me 2 days of work and they never use me because of my Law Enforcement background. Seems like a waste to drive downtown and sit for 2-3 hours then get sent home. When I was an active duty officer I got a jury duty notice and responded with a letter stating that I was a covert Narcotics Detective (which was true) and that I really shouldn’t show my face in a court setting. The judge responded by saying “That’s very nice. See you next week”. 😂
I have since given up on trying to get out of serving.
