Quoted from Zitt:If I don't standup for what is right; who will?
If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
I agree that you shouldn’t have to pay (for parking) to attend court as a jury member. A juror is an integral part of the court system, you need them as much as a judge for some cases, yet the courthouse didn’t have enough foresight to include parking. Your tax dollars helped build that courthouse, there should be a minimum amount of parking provided for these people. Maybe not enough parking for everyone, but a lot with 100 spots just for jury members would be nice. You’re already being inconvenienced for the day. (but just think of the potential profit loss, capitalism won’t allow that.)
At minimum a ticket for public transportation should be provided. If you don’t live in an area with public transportation, then alternatives should be provided too.
BUT even here in socialist Canada, I think you have to pay for parking at the courthouse.
