jury duty

just give a real biased answer when they interview you.. (assuming they do talk to you before they throw you out there..) i'm pretty sure if you tell them that in your book all people who are black, arab, mexican or asian, or who look like they're gay, junkies, hiphoppers, gang members, punks, union members, christians, bankers or anything else are guilty by default, you'll never get another jury duty call again..
although in certain US states you'll probably get more summons than before..

there are valid exemptions like students, cops, head principals and legal aficionados. i fall clear of all categories unfortunately. i was thinking i could tell them i'm on heavy medication for a psychological illness that would effect my judgment. this would probably require evidential backing in the form of a doctors note though.

another one could be to have a letter written by someone else claiming that i'm working abroad at present and won't be able to attend. i can't imagine they pursue these things in dept. the fine is in the 200-500 euro region.

well from what i've heard it usually just turns out to be a complete waste of time. only a fraction of those called in actually get involved. i can think of better ways to waste time

just say you're too drunk to attend
