    You lose the right to mock somebody who refuses to vote. Jury duty is an important part of the democratic process, one in which a single vote CAN make a difference.

    If you just don't show up without giving a prior reason, the court will sent law enforcement for you.

    In the uk, if you don't have a really good reason, I think you can cop a pretty hefty fine. Its definetly an offence.

    I remember reading something in our local news years ago where a guy received a summons to report for jury duty on a particular day. He sends a letter back to court saying that he'd be happy to serve on the jury, but his fee was $100 per hour. The judge sends a letter back telling him that if doesn't show up, he'll have him arrested for contempt of court.

    I don't know why people freak out so much about jury duty. I find jury duty to be quite interesting.
