I think the only person I've seen thrilled to be selected for jury duty was my dad who got his summons a couple of months after being naturalized. He adorably went in with his best clothes only to not get selected.

He adorably went in with his best clothes only to not get selected. i would've been all over it if there wasn't a loving pandemic going on and the notice included multiple disclaimers to expect "long lines and long hours and crowding" despite the "social distancing" they made passing reference to. like, i have a vulnerable household with a child under 1 and another under 4, gently caress off with that poo poo though they love engineers, i would've relished the opportunity to gently caress some prosecutor out of dicking over a nonviolent criminal or making GBS threads on some abusive small business owner or whatever via jury nullification

i like the tori maneuver that you simply claim during voir dire that you think cops should be held to a higher standard than other civilians and that you maybe don't trust them in general

use jury duty as an exercise to convert your fellow jurors from agents of capital to working for the unity of the common man and get dumb property crimes and poo poo thrown out unanimously

So am I supposed to perjure myself in order to get onto the jury in the hopes of hanging it, or something? If the DA asks me "do you trust the police" I'm gonna answer honestly

yeah we're talking about telling the truth in voir dire, which if you're not a vindictive chud is almost guaranteed to have the prosecutor strike you

I've always wondered what would happen if you got selected for jury duty on a big case. Like do you basically have to quit your job for a couple of months if not years for the really long winded cases? e: or the ones where they basically lock the jury up to keep them from getting the news and such. How is that even fair to the jurors lol.

can anyone recommend a not insanely expensive and not poo poo webcam? My ancient logitech c270 broke when I was wiping the lens but also was potato quality anyway, when I look around it all seems to be no name brands with 1 star reviews or crazy expensive "professional" ones for streaming games and /or porn

oh right I get what you mean now. Looks like you're right on the price as well though that might be an effect of covid gouging as anywhere with stock is selling for £20 more than the list price

If you have a multimonitor setup, you can "lifehack" lighting a bit by turning one of your monitors into a lightwall for the duration of the meeting. Just pull up a solid colour image over the whole screen. If you don't like the effects that pure white has, try something with a tinge of peach or pink to it.

spankmeister posted:I've always wondered what would happen if you got selected for jury duty on a big case. Like do you basically have to quit your job for a couple of months if not years for the really long winded cases? Yes. now, the kinds of cases where the jury has to be sequestered and it lasts months at a time are extremely rare. Like OJ Simpson trial rare. Most of the time if the jury is sequestered it's going to be for a couple of weeks, and for the trials that take months or years, you keep coming back but usually only have to be there occasionally. That said though jury duty can absolutely be an undue burden in the USA. I got called for one case once that was going to start at the beginning of the summer, which the judge said was a civil case between two landlords (gag) and it was anticipated to take eight to ten weeks, four days a week all day. There were audible gasps when he said this. Jurors in San Francisco are paid $17 a day, which just about covers lunch and parking if you manage to get one of the few subsidized spaces at the Hall of Justice. People working hourly jobs would literally become homeless or die from serving on that jury, and people with salaried positions are technically not allowed to be fired for jury duty but lmao it's america. So for this reason juries are often composed of the only people who can take months off with no pay with no real detriment to their lifestyle: wealthy retirees, housewives, and low-level failsons Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Dec 5, 2020 |

Imagine if society was like "it's okay for airline pilots to get boozed up past 0.08 BAC when they go and fly a plane, because although that would be illegal for even an old man moving his car around on his farm, the pilots are professionals so if they do it they have a good reason to." That's how we treat cops when they murder people with their guns
