How To Get Out Of Jury Duty

[wowspare]

1 Wear a "Jesus is a cunt" shirt

2 Before the lawyer starts interviewing anyone, say out loud "Lotta faggots here this morning"

3 Stare at the wall for 10seconds before mumbling an answer

4 Tell them you will disregard any law you don't like, you're biased because the defendant is a nigger/cracker/brown-ass illegal/chinky slice-eye/faggoty european/fruitcake.

5 Look over to another female jury candidate and say "That ass!"

6 Just be a general asshole

I guaran-fucking-tee you won't get jury duty

[jcrowley1985]

"ok, I have a Klan meeting, 3 lynchings, and a cross burning today, can we hurry this along?"

[MachineHeadDissent]

2 words to get out of Jury Duty.....Chronic Masterbator......wear a sweatsuit....tell everyone to turn around for a couple of minutes and go nuts......

[Magnawulf]

@jannalli We get paid $15 in California...

[JusticePreacher]

If you are in Australia, check out my clips on getting out of jury duty.

[tonebeatz24]

Just get a doctors note saying that you got a mental or physical illness and they will excuse you from it. With a doctors note they can't say SHIT cause thats PROOF right there.

[yamazaki98]

WTF, I hate cops and lawyers! why? because all of them are unfair, the cops think they're everything they're crude to me, the lawyers only work for money!

[Socoolscienceshow]

Want to get out of jury duty 100% sure? During the questioning you say: "I dont answer any questions without legal represenatation." There going to try to get you to talk by asking you a question. Simply state "Am I free to go?" If they say no ask "am I under arrest" if thye say no again stand your ground. "Am I free to go?" if they again say no, you say "I pled the 5th and then SHUT UP!!!! seriously dont say anything. If for some reason this doesnt get you out of jury duty Demand A Lawyer!!!

[Socoolscienceshow]

@Socoolscienceshow The hope here is that you scare them into thinking they are ganna have to waist thier time in court procuting you for not speaking without legal representation, when they got bigger fish to fry. nd never take a lawyer unless he shows you his public defence documents.

[Wutsakumquat]

Ask for a lollipop at every question. Done.

[paulyatekul0l]

i got a letter of this too, lucky me i dont speak, understand english good hahaha i think am excuse

[fireoutlaw23]

Show up in Judge Dredd costume: "I AM THE LAW!!"

[SohnvonChristus]

I just wore a Nazi uniform. They never bothered me again.

[Dailybabble]

Just tell them you are a full-TIME college student that you can't show because of schedule problems

[bltsandwich567]

@Dailybabble doesn't work doing the summer unless u have summer classes

[Dailybabble]

@bltsandwich567 Then take summer classes or go on vacation to Mexico or Canada the Federal Govt won't follow you outside the country. You could always tell them you're racist to blacks,white, asians, and middle-eastern.

[bltsandwich567]

@Dailybabble I wouldn't take summer classes to get out of jury duty classes cost 800 to 1200 dollars but claiming to be racist against everyone is a good idea

[Atomicskull]

It helps to refer to the defendant in the case as "the perp"

[maahreechan]

Is jury duty that bad? :(

[Dailybabble]

@maahreechan Its usually going to held you 4 to 8 eights out of work you do get paid from it $45 a day no not hours day. Jury duties is an important part of any civil case not many "Americans" are willing if i were you just do it because you won't get chosen for the next 10 years.

[DJSIQRIQ]

If that was the Lawyer interviewing me, I would be doing Jury Duty

[LadyLoraella]

Haha, why do so many americans hate jury duty? :P In the Netherlands (where I live) there's no such thing as a jury in court, so I guess I wouldn't understand.

[supersmashman90]

@LadyLoraella lucky, my bro got drag into jury. told me if he make the wrong choice of this case u get in jail..so he says.

[LadyLoraella]

@supersmashman90 But that's not true right? That wouldn't make any sense at all.

[animefan2k9]

just say your not a us citizen

[atomicvillian]

If Idiots got themselves in trouble with the law to the extent that they need to go to court then they are guilty and hang them high!

[dpak163]

since i am left handed i let them know that i am not swearin with the right hand this 4 left handed ppl only it works they don't want left handed ppl

[procommenter]

WE, as citizens, must serve on juries and acquit anyone being tried for breaking an unconstitutional law. Judge the law. Ignore the "judge's" instructions concerning guilt & innocence. As citizens we are the ultimate judges. Jury lawlessness/jury nullification must be practiced routinely.

[flikkit]

That's a hot lawyer.

[ValisFan4]

I got out of jury duty and all I had to do was be myself!

[bennysupertramp2]

That chick is so fucking hot.

[angryadrien]

WOW the girl in this vid totally sidetracked my attention.

Hey, what if you showed up smelling of alcohol? that'd be a disqualification wouldn't it? You wouldn't even have to be drunk.

[LadyLoraella]

@angryadrien You might as well take the extra step and actually get drunk.

[Sexxonable]

WTF!!!!! HAPPENED WITH FREEDOM IN THE UNITED STATES! FUCK JURY DUTY. 45 FUCKING DAYS ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!

[ShadowCrashed81]

I do have a particular prejudice against women. Will that work?

[RayAir1]

Just start telling them about juror nullification.

[fallout401]

just tell them you have to work and you just got premoted that's how my cousin got out hehe..

[RichieR4488]

all u have to do is call them and tell them you cant show up and becuase i got a letter back saying i couldnt vote unless i served duty

[helpmeimconfused]

haha she said (doody)

[VideoGameAddicted2]

I'm fucked I got no excuses. Please God get me outa this jury duty stuff, I can't afford to serve on a long case. I'm to poor to miss any work. :(

[OtterAquafina]

@VideoGameAddicted2 Just tell them that you can't pay your bills/rent, and say that your employment status with your company of employment is at risk if you miss X amount of days. Just be honest, and note that other people in the jury box will want to serve on a jury. So you should get out of it =)

[MrGio323]

@VideoGameAddicted2 were u able t get out?

[jescomilf]

ill just wear a medical marijuana shirt that says it all. ill tell them im high

[OseaNoMamesWey]

Sounds a lot easier to just go to Jury Duty

[jct3636]

get on the jury and disagree with everthing anyone saids that should waste sometime. after all they don't really need u but every circus needs customers.

[coyoteself]

I received my 6th jury summons in 13 years. I even sat on two juries, then 4 years ago I returned the survey form with a letter stating, " I find that I have a problem, whenever I hear that there is any evidence, testimony, or witnesses that were suppressed, and since some portion of the truth is NOT being presented to me as a juror for some vague legal reason. Because of this, I’ve found that I can no longer be an objective juror." There was more, and I was immediately excused,

[joeshmoe011]

show up in a Chubaca costume... works every time

[CaptainNensho]

gay.

[JesusDillinger]

Don't get out of jury duty. Get on the jury, then do what's right, without regard to the law. They will bitch moan and threaten, but ignore that nonsense.

Search JURY NULLIFICATION

[KuttyKool]

There are no holidays in August, what the hell are these people talking about? Do not follow this advice... just make a prejudice remark like Larry David did.

[XanaduZune]

BTW I love this video. It's pretty true. Since the court system is mean to me, I sure as hell am not going to be nice to them! If they want me to be nice and cooperative, then they better pay me $200 per day for jury duty and send a limo to pick me up and give me free gourmet meals!!! FUCK THEM!!!

[XanaduZune]

I went to jury duty today. I told the fucking lawyers that I would disregard any law that I didn't agree with. This also gave some other potential jurors the courage to say the same thing. Then the lawyers were very unhappy with that and the Judge got upset and threw a tantrum. But I didn't budge and they didn't put me on the jury. FUCK THEM!!! They coerced me to go 20 miles for jury duty. I don't give a fucking shit about making them happy!!! They better never summon me again!!!!!

[quikflow]

@XanaduZune i agree, i got jury duty tomorrow at 8:00 in the morning.

[cul346]

You can also say in the remain fair tip

"even if obama can't help low income students"

[mouse9111]

showing up without cloths is also a sure way to get out of jury duty. :)

[AlongTheFarClimbDown]

Our power resides in the right as citizen-jurors to nullify bad law through acquittal. Never be brow-beaten by a judge: acquit anyone who is being tried for breaking an unconstitutional law. JUDGE THE LAW. Refer, of course, to: JURY LAWLESSNESS & JURY NULLIFICATION.

[acfball]

This is the stupidest, retaredest video I have ever seen.

[firebird646]

or dont register to vote

[sigshooter226]

You will NOT go to jail for not showing up. I did it 3 times in two different states. Once in boise, Idaho and twice in california orange county and riverside county. Truth is they have plenty of people to fill the slots and it is not worth trying to come after you, unless you live in a really unpopulated place then you might get a warrant for you.

[jose060789]

Can anyone tell me what happens if you accidentally don't go to jury service?

In my case, the stupid alarm clock failed to wake me up and by the time I woke up it was already late. I tried calling to explain why I couldn't go but they said I can't postpone or get an excuse the same day I service.

[roush26]

just relax, its pretty hard to get selected into a jury, you can get thrown out just cuz the attorney dont like you. just be yourself and you probably wont get picked, hell if your honest with yourself and express it in the interviews u mite find out just how biased u really r

[JonathanShelton1]

Jury Duty SUCKS! No one would show if they couldnt put you in jail for it lol witch is so stupid!

[dingdongditch1000]

I'll just tell them that I just moved and not eligible for jury duty anymore!!!

[dodocrest]

Wow, i got jury duty tomorrow, imma act like a racist to get out of it

[veh9608]

@dodocrest did it work?! i think that im going to try it when i go in sept!! =]

[dodocrest]

@veh9608 Lucky for me they didn't need me to go anymore :)

[eisenkreuzmusik]

tell them you were the victim of the same crime in question

[billyhw]

My advice: just go, sit back, relax, and feel good about yourself not being one of those jerks who want out by trying out those tricks suggested by this video.

Honesty will pay off eventually, believe in yourself. After all, you really want to look like that guy in this video?

[rb21122b]

@billyhw If you don't want to get called for a case, it helps. In my state, its a 'One day One service' duty. So its worth a try.

[burgersforreal]

well my brother is a sergeant in the police so i guess i can get out there

[RandomWad]

If it's a drug case, wear a NORML t-shirt to the trial.

[RandomWad]

When they interview you they will ask if you know the person on trial. If you tell them you do know him or her they will excuse you. Just say that you were friends with them growing up or something.

[ImperviousMason]

This is so ridiculous, I called the courthouse office saying that i didn't have a ride and they excused me. The guy who was there said they have never arrested anyone for missing jury duty and that the jail cells would be overflown with the people who did dodge jury duty.

[XeonogaShanti9]

My Judge was not buying nothing. People had to cry their way out or state no english. I sat for two days, so I said yes, I'll do it and looks like I don't have to again.

[Rayven10]

Do these and expect to be detained for contempt of court.

A real way is to throw out the jury summons - unless you had to sign for it. If they can't prove you got it, they have no claim against you.

And if you end up going anyway, look up "jury nullification" beforehand, and bring it up during voir dire. Those who know what this is, and bring it up during voir dire, generally don't get picked.

[Superdeath25]

@Rayven10 if you were rejected, then you do not have Jury duty anymore. It is contempt of court when you DO NOT ATTEND

[Rayven10]

@Superdeath25 If you show up wearing a shirt that says "Kill all Lawyers", you can expect, at the minimum, a contempt of court charge. That charge is defined as pretty much anything that disrupts the normal flow of court, or those who disobey or disrespect the court's authority.

So if you don't shower, then wear old clothes with directed sayings on them, or judge thinks you are answering negatively to get out of jury duty, you get hit with contempt.

I've seen it happen.

[shaithis45]

@Rayven10 shortly after I turned 18 I got into it with a judge over the phone mainly because I wasn't being compensated fairly and had to keep saving and working. Back then it was a little different and this judge didn't bother taking it any further. Nowadays I work for a company that pays me for my time so I don't try getting out of it. Also if you are in a high group number, you might not even get called in and you are good for a year.

[shaithis45]

@Rayven10 nowadays you are just designated as a possible juror meaning you may not even have to report at all. The way some courts do it is by just having you log in to see if your group is slated to report or not. After a few days if you haven't been called, that means you served and will not be in the process again for at least a year (that is the way it works where I'm at)

[Rayven10]

@shaithis45 Agreed, but you still might be called. I personally want to be called, but for those who would be majorly inconvenienced, there are solid ways out of it.

[michaelpriest]

Until they start sending them out regestered mail, there is no way they can be sure you ever got it. Here in California they are kicking prisners out on the street, because there is no room or money to keep them, so I dont they are out arresting people for not answering a Jury Summons,, WTF

[cosmicbrownies4]

Nope, they just fine people. bon appetit

[maxminitrax]

Great video, The info will come in handy as I just received a letter in the mail for jury duty. Worst part about it the judge ill be in front of screwed me over and ruled aginst me in a case not 3 months ago... total BS. Guess thats what i get for voting and trying to keep obama out of the white house!

[Hauteur723]

When asked to uphold the law say no... Just state that you do not follow the law of man.. Only the law of God

[Locustx925]

CRUST PUNKS!!!!

[sharkhead7854]

"Noting eloquently that 'shit happens'".

LOL

[Superdeath25]

another tip, do NOT brush your teeth, eat unions and/or garlic. If your breath stinks, neither side may want you

[Balgore8]

Best tip of all, guaranteed to get you out of Jury duty.

Tell them you are RACIST/PREJUDICE. You will not be selected ever again.

[jaimenicanor]

do u tell them over there or when

[Balgore8]

When youre in the line-up of selected potential candidates and the crown and defense are making picks... When its your turn to go up and speak, tell them you are prejudice and will not rule fairly. You will not be selected.

[crazylilyoshi]

that doesn't work anymore my friend tried that.

just act like you dont have a clue play dumb and your off the hook. it.

[fnm11231]

Another tip is to pretend you are racist, my brother did it and it worked. =D

[Superdeath25]

More tips

1. Be rude and crude

2. At trial, be obnoxius and loud

3. Show up dressed like the Devil (Satan) and laugh evilly

4. Show up caked in mud

5. Wear a shirt encouraging anarchy

6. When asked to uphold a law, say no and also yell "ANARCHY RULES!"

7. On the day, call and say that you have a flesh eating virus that is airborne and extremely contagious

[Balgore8]

Haha all uber tips my friend!

[sqwishdabug]

stuuuuupid

[stoicwarrior189]

My boyfriend didn't have a car when he got called to jury duty once so he got out of it because no one could take him to the courthouse.

[DomiNATEor]

lol hes red headed

[AirBorne2418]

Just go to jury duty when you get called for it.

[999Atwood]

The best way to avoid jury duty is to be THE DEFENDANT....it's very obvious.

[icewhipRox]

@999Atwood or the prosecutor! That way, you get out of jury duty AND you can sue someone's pants off! LOL!

[nosupecualponerme]

no bdriz16.,u aint served no country u r serving u masters., the best thing to do is, to bring the acused n the complainer, rigth there where they live and gather all the neighbors n discus the problem then u all decide who is guilty and punish the guilty part with a monetary fine 2 times the economicly damage plus a20% of that for the neighborhood court.,an eye for n eye for any personal damage,this way u kick out all the judges,prosecuters n court clerks,n expedite justice n save on jails too

[Gameeerspot]

Showing up in a KKK robe will ensure that they don't pick you.

[bdriz16]

Jury duty is the BEST and really ONLY way to truly serve your country...don't back out of it!!!

[GottaWiz]

@bdriz16 ikr you get to MISS WORK well i do and it doesnt count as a vacation day only because me and my boss are friends :)

[Pingoo124]

[Pingoo124]

isn't it illegal to get out of jury duty.

[TheElectricDreamer93]

I was gonna mention that. :\

[cuteharpseal]

[Superdeath25]

@Pingoo124 no it is not. NOT ATTENDING is illegal

[icewhipRox]

When they ask you if you're prejudice, say "No, I hate everyone equally!"

That's how my sister got out of jury duty!

[FrozenIceCweam]

@icewhipRox I said something similar when my freind asked me why id didn't trust him.

[mrmjordan]

[RavishingRedheadd]

umm this video was unrealistic lol and the guy smacking her hair lol hahaha yeah anyone would call security and have him thrown out for acting so weird lol.another thing why does howcast have to show commericals? dont we see enough on tv?

[wordsforthewind]

Just refresh the page. :D

[RavishingRedheadd]

thanks!

[MudaSHoleProductions]

Wow...they don't state the easiest way to duck jury duty, just tell them you're racist.

[angusyoung9323]

LOL

[Maxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxim]

"Noting eloquently that 'shit happens.'"

So true.

[TheCliffordCult]

Imagine if somebody came in the courtroom with a gun/bomb/knife/piece of poop.

[munificent1000]

the last one is the most dangorous :O

watch out he's got POOP

save the children or i will fling poop at you!!

[TheCliffordCult]

What if police question/arrest you for the 'kill all lawyers' wearing? Is that seriously a good idea?

[RavishingRedheadd]

yeah thats what i thought he can get in trouble for wearing that there.

[bijinm2]

they can't arrest you, freedom of expression and questioning would lead to no where

[cuteharpseal]

yes they can learn you civics again

[djkoolaj96]

your supporting the killing off people you would be in direct contact with so it would make sense to try to act on what you belive during your time during jury duty(i know that and im only 13)

[bdriz16]

You really have no idea what I'm talking about do you?

[djkoolaj96]

i know exactly what your talkin about but if it would make you happy then tell me

[uhhuhcheckit]

The best and most honest way to get out of jury duty is to make it clear to the judge and lawyers that you know all about Jury nullification and are not afraid to it. Jury nullification has been upheld by the Supreme Court and allows you to vote someone as innocent if they violated a law you don't agree with.

[uhhuhcheckit]

So, for example, say you were on a jury panel. If all the evidence points to the fact that someone downloaded music illegally, and you don't think it should be illegal to download music, you can vote him innocent (and the Supreme Court has set a precedence). Lawyers/judges don't like jurors knowing about this since it means the whole court proceedings are entirely unpredictable.

[HBSnaruto20]

Hmm most of thoses things listed in the video would probably have you end up in a crazy house lol

[debilchan]

Im picked to go Dec 22. It sucks ass.

[icewhipRox]

Aw, I'm sorry dude! That does suck!

[MsMercury]

I've been called twice and never picked. I don't even want to be called and sit there all day long waiting. The second time I was there the entire day and never even went back to be interviewed. That's what I want to get out of.

[agirlcalledaubrey]

actually being a jury is fun idk why ppl dun wanna be one

[izzle8103]

[SuperJedders]

[MasonsTurtle]

[cupcakechagrin]
