Default Do I have to send in my jury information form?

I got a letter from the State of New York asking me where I was living, and my phone number, etc, so I could be called on for jury duty.

Do I have to actually fill this out? I go to school in Philadelphia, not in NY, but I am still a resident of NY.

I figured you guys generally know what things we don't have to do just because the state says to, so do I have to mail this form in?

Just send it in in case it's against the law. If you get called on for jury duity, start talking about all those GD negroes/jews/mexicans/whatever that are ruining the country. You'll get dismissed right away amirite?

I still prefer the Homer Simpson method:

"The key is to say you're prejudiced against all races."

it sounds to me like you haven't been selected for jury duty, you've been asked to provide information. toss it and tell us what happens.

If you have even a marginal libertarian streak, it's MUCH MUCH safer and more effective to just tell them how you really feel. Also tell them you have no problem with the concept of jury nullification.

You'll never get selected to be on the jury. Ever.

My problem with this is that I live in Philly - If NY calls me for Jury duty I can say (one time) that I cannot come. The second time I am called I have to go. Obviously I wouldn't be able to commute back and forth from Philly to Long Island to serve on a jury for a week or something.

And yes, this isn't a request for me to serve, its a request for me to give them information so in the future they can ask me to serve.

I am, however, fairly certain that in the preface to the document it said "you are required by law to fill out this form". Although I don't think it said anything about sending it in...(It's in a sealed envelope now)

I would ignore it. If they send more stuff, I'd keep ignoring. In the unlikely event they send someone to me, I'd just say I never got anything from them. This tactic has been highly effective for me in dealing with bureaucracies ever since I began using it to avoid lunch detentions in middle school.

Seriously? I was told by a friend that you can only be excused once, and then after that you have to go. Incorrect was she?
