They threaten us with jail and to my knowledge nobody has ever been indicted. Empty threats for sure.

If they prosecuted everyone that skipped jury duty, half our population would be in the slammer. lol

Don't sweat the parking for that amount of a fine, just show up.

What Happens If I Ignore My Jury Notice?

If you are selected for jury duty you must respond. Failing to respond and/or show up for juror selection can be considered contempt of court.

Penalties for contempt of court will depend on whether you’ve been selected for a state or federal matter.

•State contempt penalty: $10 – $200 in fines
•Federal contempt penalty: $1,000 in fines, 3 days in jail, and/or community service.
