If you do not show up in a court of law when you are supposed to be there you can get into trouble, because it's like your saying that the government isn't important to you and that you are just going to do whatever you want regardless of what they want from you. In a way it is kind of like telling a judge that he needs to shut up. I guess?!?! Who knowz. But, yes, it is borderlined illegal if you don't show up in a court of law when you are issued a subpoena. I am going to start studying to be a lawyer soon so I think that answering questions like this is a lot of fun and good practice for me. Thank you for the question! :)
