Toss Jury Summonses in the Trash; Never, Ever Sign for Certified Mail

February 4, 2015|Richard Nikoley||

Dumbshits: this is 1+1 shit

First of all, I’m no slave, so jury duty is an impossibility for me. My fee to serve on a jury is $250 per hour. Otherwise, you’ll have to compel me. But, I don’t make an issue of it. For over 20 years, the dozen or so “summonses” I have received went straight to the round file.

I’m absolutely certain they were sent by people who hate me and want to fuck with me. Unless I’m personally served by a Sheriff of the County with proper identification, I will continue to know that anyone can send me mail, and some people are fucking with me.

I also refuse to sign for all certified mail.

What good news comes in certified mail?

Don’t be a fucking stupid fucktard, behaving like the 99% of stupid fucktard pawn servants inhabiting planet Earth.

…Whose very first big thing is to bend over for “authorities” and sign that you got their commands. Fuck them in the mouth, deep throat like.

(Inspired by just having a Federal Mail Official knock at my door. It’s always the same: I won’t sign for it. I don’t sign for anything wrapped in paper and you’re not being a proper human animal if you ever do.)

That is all, for now.

    Richard, I don’t always agree with you (and I’m sure you could not care less), but damn if I don’t like you more and more lately. I’ve been throwing away jury summons for decades as well. How can anyone prove you received it? Been watching my moron co-workers lose a days pay, like they would be thrown in jail if they don’t go, may I use your term? fucktards

      Everybody should use that term a lot. :)

    Another way to get back at these government money grabbers is to make sure you apply a good photoblocker spray to your car’s license plates. Foils the nefarious (and IMHO illegal) red light cameras. Whoever invented those deserves to be shot. Pure money grabbers.

      Huh, didn’t even know a product like that existed.

      At any rate, tossed two of those tickets that came in quick succession back in 2003. Nothing ever came of it.

      And, I have HP issued speeding tickets from the late 90s in NV, NM and MD that I never did anything about, nothing ever came of it.

    Richard: same for the federal “American Community Survey” census? It’s gone from “how many people live in your household?” every 10 years, to an extensive and invasive questionnaire, now on a 5 year (and arguably unconstitutional) basis.
    I mean, if we don’t answer this one, how will the feds know how to distribute the loot and borrowed dollar$??? :)

    I had to read this post again because I’m so pissed! 2 years ago my husband got one of those payday loans & put my phone number as a reference. Now, I get harassing calls every other day! They even pretend there’s a “law suit” pending. I wish I could do something other than change my phone number!! I’m so sick of this threatening, litigious, personal power-sucking country!

      Look up FTC “cease & desist.” You can use that.

      However, you must know that if you’re in one of the 9 community property states (all western states and one other), doesn’t matter if you signed. If you are married your spouse can rack up any amount of debt on his/her own, and the other spouse is just as liable, all assets and income, including bank account levy and wage garnishment.

      Thanks for the info. Richard

    I hear people say it is my “civic duty” and “responsibility” to accept jury duty. I have thrown jury duty notices in the trash my entire life. I fought in Vietnam as a Combat Medic with the 173rd Airborne Brigade during 1968/69. I have suffered from that experience for nearly 50 years now. I have lived in a country that betrayed me, that disrespects me for honoring my country’s wishes at that time. Do I feel obligated to do jury duty. NO, and I never will. The courts can kiss my ass………………………..I did my civic duty and have been punished for it dearly.
