So this weekend I received a brief survey from the county courts to be used for jury selection. The front half is not a big deal; Name, am I over 18, A US citizen, A county resident, To I speak English, Have my voting rights been revoked, am I a felon, etc.
But the back side blew me away. they were all kind of intrusive but these are the highlights.
1 Marital Status
4 Extent of Education
5 Present Employer and Occupation
6 What other occupations have I had in the past 10 years
7 If Married spouses occupation and employer
8 Do you or your spouse work for or have worked for an insurance company
9 Have you or any immediate family members been a party to a lawsuit
17 List any clubs or organizations to which you belong
So I called the Court House to find out the best way to write "None of your Damn Business" The lady I talked to on the phone got pissed at me when I told her I wasn't going to answer those questions. She said the government all ready knows my employer for taxes, and I retorted that the IRS handles that not the courts and I am still not big on the IRS or taxes. She threatened a judges order against me if I didn't fill it out properly and I told her this is an infringement on my 4th amendment rights to which she replied "what ever".
So I have 9 more days before I have to mail it back. Should I call the judge or just send it in blank?
