Jury duty - Beware of covid rules 🚔 Crime & Corruption 💸
posted ago by ChronicMetamorphosis ago by ChronicMetamorphosis +122 / -0

I had jury duty. I was expecting some covid fuckery with the court. I wasn't wrong.

Originally, when I received my summons, there was a paper describing some covid rules. Typical things, like taking your temp with a hand scanner, social distancing, masks, etc.

So here's the fuckery:

They asked us to swear to abide by the rules of the court once everyone was settled in. After doing so, they went into covid rules, like:

"Vaccinated dont have to wear masks, unvaccinated have to wear masks. We can ask for your vaccination papers at anytime, and by not wearing a mask, you are stating to the court that you are vaccinated."

So they got me. They got me not wearing a mask on camera, then putting a mask on because I'm not vaccinated, and I had to say my name and place of employment at one point during their screening.

Fuck these fuckers. I didnt even want to go because I had a feeling something like this was going to take place.

Side note: We weren't allowed to have cell phones. However, the prosecutor had a cell phone and told us that he is simply making plans because of his busy family.

As you're vetting jurors? Yea right.

So we give you our name, place of work, and hobbies, and Im simply supposed to trust that you ARENT trying to look us up on Facebook? Or any other government database for that reason?

There should be a straight up law about having Facebook, or any social media access in court. It should be blocked off their network.
