As a retired firefighter and the spouse of a cop I get automatically excluded every time I get a jury summons. I check the box for both and give the department information on the reply form. Then I get notice back in the mail saying that I was disqualified from jury duty.

Apparently there is a presumption that being a former public safety professional and a cop's husband means that I will automatically side with the prosecution. Personally I think that's hogwash, but that's the way it is.

And I may be one of the few people in the world who actually wants to seat on a jury. I like the idea of doing a civic duty. But then a lot of people think I'm weird anyway.
Glassman, I salute your viewpoint. I consider jury duty a civic duty and an honor. I really detest the people that want to find a loophole to get out of it. I always have to ask them if they find ways to get out of voting as well.
