launder mat, jury duty or the dmv?

Laundromat is the worst.  Before I bought a washer and dryer, I always wound up next to some perv who would stare at me while I folded my underwear.

Sorry, she is required by law to appear on the date, time and at the place shown on the Summons.  She can explain her circumstances to the Judge and she may be excused for said jury duty.  \n\nGood Luck and Take Care

Kind of. It's kind of random how they select people. But as long as you are registered to vote, you should be chosen within every 7-10 years. (I just got summoned actually, I need to report in July). But when you do get summoned, some ways to help you a little bit is when asked if you would take a cops word over the accused's word just because he's a cop, say no. Because you shouldn't assume the cop is telling the truth just because he's a cop. Also don't say anything that might make you seem more biased against any particular race, religion or anything like that. Answer the ballot the way you think they would want you to.\n\nMy mom did jury duty a couple months ago. She originally didn't want to do it but got chosen anyway. She ended up really enjoying it. I want to do it too, but I'm a little nervouse about taking the bus to Norristown (about an hr from my house) by myself at 7:00 in the morning...\n\nGood luck though! I know you'll probably enjoy it. It's kind of exciting and you learn a lot of legal stuff. Like my mom knows such much about Identity Fraud now because that's what her case was about. Enjoy!

I tried looking on their website, but that seems as unorganized as the DMV really is in person.  I know if you go to your nearset DMV you can find it.

Ummm....judges, I'm fairly certain, cannot use tea leaves, crystal balls, or a roll of the dice to determine guilt or innocence.  Not sure why someone who claims to be an officer would suggest otherwise.\n\nGood luck on getting that trial transcript.  At least in California, traffic court is not required to have a court reporter.\n\nI disagree with the notion that the discovery process needed to be done earlier.  If the officer testified that the radar unit was calibrated, then the next logical questions would be when, by who, what were the results, etc.  If the officer didn't testify to the unit being calibrated, then the discovery request probably should have been made earlier if you wanted to know those things.\n\nThe judge may not have meant he and the officer were drinking/golfing buddies.  He may have meant the officer has been testifying before him for 13 years and because of his past testimony, the judge finds the officer to be very credible.  Since the judge does not know you, and perhaps has reason to doubt your side of the event, he may feel it's appropriate to take the officer's word over yours.  Judges or juries do that all the time...one witness is credible and can be believed, the other witness is not so credible and can be disbelieved.  \n\nI would not assume the judge's decision was based solely on the length of time the judge has known the officer.  The judge was maybe a little smart-assed when he said that (as recounted by you), but I don't know that I would just assume that's all he used to make his decision.

Fully Informed Jury Association. Their mission is to inform jurors of their rights and responsibilities if they are called for duty. \n\nIf you are called for Jury Duty:\n\nDon't worry! Be happy! Look at jury service as an opportunity to "do good" for yourself and others. It's your chance to help the justice system deliver justice, which is absolutely essential to a free society.\n\nAlso, you can do more "political good" as a juror than in practically any other way as a citizen: your vote on the verdict is also a measure of public opinion on the law itself--an opinion which our lawmakers are likely to take seriously. Short of being elected to office yourself, you may never otherwise have a more powerful impact on the rules we live by than you will as a trial juror.\n\nHowever, unless you are fully informed of your powers as a juror, you may be manipulated by the less powerful players in the courtroom into delivering the verdict they want, instead of what justice would require. That is why this was written--to give you information that you're not likely to receive from the attorneys, or even from the judge.\n\nJustice may depend upon your being chosen to serve, so here are some "words to the wise" about how to make it through voir dire, the jury selection process: You may feel that answering some of the questions asked of you would compromise your right to privacy. If you refuse to answer them, it will probably cost you your chance to serve. Likewise, if you "talk too much"--especially if you admit to knowing your rights and powers as a juror, as explained below, or that you have qualms about the law itself in the case at hand, or reveal that you're bright, educated, or are interested in serving! So, from voir dire to verdict, let your conscience be your guide.\n\nNothing in the U.S. Constitution or in any Supreme Court decision requires jurors to take an oath to follow the law as the judge explains it or, for that matter, authorizes the judge to "instruct" the jury at all. Judges provide their interpretation of the law, but you may also do your own thinking. Keep in mind that no juror's oath is enforceable, and that you may regard all "instructions" as advice.\n\nUnderstanding the full context in which an illegal act was committed is essential to deciding whether the defendant acted rightly or wrongly. Strict application of the law may produce a guilty verdict, but what about justice? If the jurors agree that, beyond a reasonable doubt, the accused did act as charged, then "context becomes everything" in reaching a verdict you can live with. Credit or blame for the verdict will go to you, so be sure to ask the judge how you can pose questions to witnesses, so that you can learn the complete context, should the lawyers fail to bring it out. \n\nWhen they believe justice requires it, jurors can refuse to apply the law. Jurors have the power to consider whether the law itself is wrong (including whether it is "unconstitutional"), or is being applied for political reasons. Is the defendant being singled out as "an example" in order to demonstrate government muscle? Were the defendant's constitutional rights violated during the arrest? Much of today's "crime wave" consists of victimless crimes--crimes against the state, or "political crimes", so if you feel that a verdict of guilty would give the government too much power, or help keep a bad law alive, just remember that you can refuse to apply any law that violates your conscience.\n\nProsecutors often "multiply charges" so the jury will assume the defendant "must be guilty of something". But one of the great mistakes a jury can make is to betray both truth and conscience by compromising. If you believe the defendant is not guilty of anything, then vote "not guilty" on all counts.\n\nYou can't be punished for vo

This link is a sucessful dismissal of testimony by a police officer that a defendant "apeared" intoxicated.  I would only add that the possibilities for the empty container are endless.  I accidently carried a bag of trash away from a cookout one day. It was a nasty used paper plate and several old empty beverage cans...

Go to the DMVS WEDSITE

Contact the courts and let them know where you are and that you just received it.  I don't think they can MAKE you come back and serve on jury if you are out of the country.  Most important to contact the court though....

If you are just worried about  getting in trouble with the law I wouldn't worry too too much. As long as you have a clean record, show up to court on time and present yourself in a respectable manner (no shorts, jeans, sandals or t-shirts, all clothing neat and wrinkle free, pants pulled up to waist and worn with a belt- no undies showing; personal appearance-well groomed, neatly shaved) and are polite to the judge, etc- you should get it dismissed or a small ($50-100) fine.

If it is for jury duty, it's the luck of the draw, I am a Police Officer and have been selected 7 times in eight years, never made it to the jury....go figure. You can be subpoenaed for court cases as a witness as it is needed. I know people who have never been selected for duty. Makes you wonder how good the system is.

The states are all linked by computer now.  The DMV in any state will see you are suspended.

That would depend entirely on the particular court the jury is for.  Municipal, County, District, State, Federal...\nEach will have, or not have, it's own website with whatever tools are available.  If you've received a summons, and the information included does not indicate such as site, then it probably doesn't exist.  Even if you find it, don't get your hopes up.  Just do your civic duty and show up.

You can also contact the court that held the trial.  They will have the verdit for the case in question.  I have added a link to the circuit courts in West Virgina for your use.

One of these days it will be in the mailbox. It will tell you when and where to report. If you need to get out you can ask for a different date, or go and talk to the judge and explain why it would be a hardship for you to serve. The odds of getting out depend on where you live and how difficult it is to get quilified jurors. If you can serve do it and you will probably enjoy the experience.

If you read the back of the ticket you will see that you had 15 days in which to pay voluntarily which was even a reduced fine. Now it's too late, you must attend or you won't have an opportunity to fight it. If you don't want to fight it the court will make a ruling that you have to pay and if you don't you won't be allowed to renew your drivers license. My pet peeve is when people ask these questions they don't say what country or state they are in so you may not be getting a correct answer from ANYONE on this. Please just go to court-play it safe! And since you will be there anyway-just contest it-believe me-it's FUN and you have more than an 80 percent chance of winning as the cops rarely show up due to rotation on their shift or they are usually too busy or needed elsewhere. If the cop doesn't show but you do -you're walking out of there with all your money.

If you are worried about your car take public transportation. Or, if you do take your own car and it breaks down, they won't penalize you the first time anyway. As you already know, worrying about things that probably won't even happen is a huge waste of time and energy. And, quite frankly, there is even a reasonable chance that on the week you have jury duty you might not even have to go and you will be safe for another year.
