So I got subpeenered like a motherfucker
FandyienBut Otto, what about us? Registered Userregular
So I get home today with my ladyfriend to find a subpoena taped on my door, with all kinds of shit check off on it and jazz. It turns out it's in reference to this http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?t=75650
occurence.
So what the fuck do I do? my parents said that if I ignore it I could face legal consequences, but that sounds ass-backwards seeing as i'm the victim and all and how are they gonna do that shit
Anyway, I don't want to go to court, fuck legal things, I think that might be a fairly unanimous sentiment
An individual who receives a subpoena from a grand jury has three choices:
1. comply with the subpoena (show up or produce the evidence);
2. serve the issuing attorney with a statement of objections to the subpoena;
3. convince a court that you do not have to comply (motion to quash); or
4. refuse to comply (the court may then hold the person to whom the subpoena was issued in civil contempt).
my favorite part is how there are actually four choices

just don't be a fucking idiot stoner and you'll be fine
it is part of the problem
But they sure as hell will charge you with contempt if you don't go.

the worst way is like a cockgoblin
i don't get it
if you don't go they will hate you
chillax and go
and don't smoke beforehand
i am a witness
LAW and all that
witnesses get subpoenaed all the TIME
seriously
go
yes
you will have to talk about being a witness
just don't include the bits about zomg i was so highh!!
What exactly does this process involve
I have never been in a court
well i certainly wasn't planning on doing that
going to court to testify is cool
if it turns out he's really powerful and you have to enter witness protection, bonus!
they want him to testify
you know, about the crime that he reported
and the criminal he identified
after he called the cops
if you don't go, you're likely to catch some shit
in seven different ways, yes
this is not hard
a subpoena is just a summons to court
put down the fucking reefer and read a book or something
Nah, I wasn't worried about that at all
I was more wondering what sort of shit i'll be catching if I don't go out of general apathy
Secret Satan
why is this
sorry pip i am too stupid to read the words in this post
maybe next time someone is breaking into your house and you call the cops they wont show up out of general apathy
Why did you call the police and then later on identify the person if you didn't care?
general apathy about CALLING THE COPS ON THE DUDE AND THEN COMPLAINING WHEN YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT WHY HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL?!
fandy there is no easy way to say this
I mean woah
you are dumb as hell
Like when they offer free boats to known criminals and then throw them in the slammer
i am not a cop hating retard
I am very happy the police are around to mitigate the horrible crime in this city and make my neighborhood safe
if they were going to arrest you or whatever they wouldn't have subpoenaed you
he might be
Tossrock: Somolia, you know Mogadishu, Blackhawk down?
Qorzm: I'm sorry, I don't follow hip-hop
