But it gets you out of jury duty
My experience in San Francisco was this:
²³⁸U: I mean I'm happy to serve, but my diagnoses are on record. I'm on disability. Do you really want me?
Jury Pool Clerk: Are you a danger to yourself or others?
²³⁸U: That's the bar? I just need to not be a threat?
Jury Pool Clerk: This is America.
²³⁸U: Fair enough. I'll see you on Tuesday at... holy crap eight in the morning.
In Yolo county, I called in saying I'm eager to serve but need a ride, and they immediate cancelled my Jury Duty.
