Do I need to respond? ex County Jury notice

[votking]

NY


My mother recently received a letter to her address from the County which I have not lived in over a decade. The letter asked a series of questions regarding jury eligibility. It asks me for proof I no longer live in this county if I moved away. The proof entails sensitive documents such as copies of drivers license, tax return information, mortgage or lease info, which I don't feel the need to provide anyone. Am I legally required to respond to this notice?

How is it going to hurt to send the government a copy of a government document?

I would suggest that you provide the information.

you may not feel the need to provide anything to anyone....HOWEVER, if you fail to respond, then the court can issue a warrant, you can be contacted by law enforcement and "escorted" to the court to explain to the judge why you didn't feel the need to respond.


(pssstt....you need to just get over yourself and send a copy of your drivers license showing that you do not live in that county.)

You are required to prove to the court that you are no longer a county resident. If you do not you will be considered a county resident and must appear for jury duty if summoned or face a contempt charge.

You're being very silly here. Or maybe just overly paranoid for no apparent reason. I know with some courts you should be able to submit the proof online.

What is your issue with these so-called "sensitive documents". By the way, the information on your license is a public record anyway.

The reason being that none of it exists. I work and make good money here in this city but that is all. I don't drive, own a home, rent, pay utility bills etc. I live with a person who has everything paid off. They are demanding things in my name on paper where none exist. How do I proceed if I do not have the required documentation for this event?

By going to jury duty or going to jail.

I assume you've updated your driver's license?

I do not in this state. I have nothing documented in this state aside from tax return. That is all is all I have for the past decade.

What state? Do you live in New York now?

I don't remember what the list of acceptable proof is but I remember it being very simple to provide just the basics.

Then you are breaking numerous laws by not having certain documents updated with your latest address.

I guess the question is what laws am I breaking? I can not locate these. I thought that living free in my own country was legal. This country was founded on freedom is is not?

You weren't clear in your prior post. Do you have a driver's license in your current or prior state?

I can not produce the sensitive documents they are asking for. They do not exist. On paper I do not exist to the government there apparently.
