What happens if you miss jury duty?
Jury duty, in the United States, is considered to be a part of an individual's civic duty. The right to a trial by a jury of one's peers is guaranteed by the United States' Constitution. A jury is supposed to be representative of a particular region to ensure a fair trial for the person being accused of a crime. As a result of the importance of the jury in a trial, there are consequences for not reporting to jury duty. The consequences of not reporting to jury duty depend on the region in which the individual resides. In general, individuals who do not report to jury duty can be found in contempt of court, can be heavily fined, and can be subject to questioning as to why the individual did not report to jury duty.

If you are related to a police officer can you be excused from jury duty?
Having a police officer relative is not a free ticket out of jury duty. It's not uncommon for a member of a jury pool to be asked, "Are you a police officer?" or "Are you related to a police officer?" as part of the voir dire screening process. If the pending trial is a criminal matter, either the defense or the prosecutor might ask you be excused. However, the case may be a civil one not involving the police, or the attorneys in the case might not think a police officer relative is a critical factor.In any event, you should show up as scheduled for jury duty when called. The court is unlikely to look kindly on you if you fail to appear because you have a police relative. Jury service is the duty of a citizen, and criminal penalties can be imposed if you refuse to serve.
