This. And make it a combo by also wearing a Trump 2024 t-shirt.

Then maybe not registering helps with federal jury duty which is worse anyway?

I got called at the end of January...
They didn't care that it was one of our busiest times at work. They also didn't care that I didn't want to be there.
They called.. I think..750 people on Monday, you sat in a big room and IF they actually called you, they texted you to come to the door.
Got called about 15 minutes after I got there... on a Rape from 1988. I kid you not. A 1988 rape. Anyways... they called 55 people, and called US in groups of 15. Asked questions... dismissed some... most were dismissed for being... different than the defendant, being suburban white women with kids, some with cause for reasons they couldn't serve without it being a hardship (found out that being diabetic and "having to eat every 2 or 3 hours" didn't count as a hardship), then called more to replace those...
oh yeah... it was a sequestered jury... judge told them that they'd have an opportunity to go home, get their things and be back in 1/2 an hour or so to go to the motel where they were being sequestered. THAT would REALLY suck.
Took ALL dang day... but at the end, never got called and got thanked for my service and now I'm good for the next 10 years.
1988 rape case. Defendant was in a wheelchair with oxygen. Heck, he looked as if he didn't have long anyways.

I moved back to Louisiana in 2002 and was never summoned for jury duty until I registered to vote against Joe Biden.
I was never summoned based on driver's license alone. Since re-registering to vote, I've been summoned twice in a 9 month period and got excused based on medical disability.
Before you say anything else, I am not a Trumper and believe that it is a person's right TO NOT VOTE as much as it is a right TO VOTE.
God Bless America!

If it is a personal injury case just raise your hand when the question, "Who believes that back pain can be faked?" is asked. That did it for me.
If it is a summons for the grand jury selection, do it if you are selected. It is worth the hassle to see what really goes on in your town/county/parish.

Not sure how great it might be.. if you end up in a hotel room with no tv or access to outside things for three to four months sounds like it would suck.

Voter registration is only one list they pull from. The first time I was called I wasn't a registered voter.

I hate when those get delivered to the neighbor's mailbox. Then they don't do the right thing and put it in mine. Result, you don't get it because that piece of mail got delivered to the wrong address. It's unreal. Same thing with those Red Light camera tickets where they want you to send money to some Seattle P.O. Box. I mean, I've never gotten one, just my friend was telling me.

You mean they accidentally put it in your trash can, don't you?

Ask them if you can postpone your service to December. If they allow it you most likely won’t get re-summoned. Nobody wants to start a trial right before Christmas.

Just like the best way to get out of work, shite your pants. I have never done this on purpose. At all. Ever.

Can't enter courtroom wearing a hat. Bailiffs or whatever they are remove it for you if you forget when you walk in the door. Even if your "head gets really cold".

Piss your pants and announce to the entire crowd that you have in fact urinated in your pants and need to be excused.

I have been driving for 40+ years and the only time I've ever been summoned was registering to vote in the 2020 election.
That's a long time to not be called for jury duty.

Tell them you are an engineer. They won’t anything to do with you or your analytical thinking
