Today, I was told there was a bench warrant out for my arrest because a notice to appear for jury duty was sent to my old address and I never responded. I haven't lived at my old address for 2 years. FML

If you can prove that you haven't lived there in 2 years maybe they can clear it up? It was just a misunderstanding after all.

I know lots of people that purposely ignore those notices. Unless they're certified, there's no real way to prove you received them at all.

Who says this has to be a bad thing? Handcuffs could be fun?

What about the body cavity search when you go to jail? Bending over to pick up the soap can be fun too.

Most counties go by your voter registration form so if you didn't update it, you are screwed.

Ydi for not filling out a simple change of address form.

Hey, this almost happened to me. The court sent a jury duty summons to my mother's house, in another county, for my maiden name, after I haven't lived there for five years. But it was still MY responsibility to call them and give them proof that I was married and lived in a different county, or I could have been arrested. It's horseshit.

The government doesn't want to do the work, but they will take credit for the work you've done!

How about you update your address like you are legally required to do so

That doesn't mean anything 35. You can update your address but people will still send crap to the old address.

The court system uses the address you have on file with the DMV, which you are required by law to update if you move within 30 days
