Yeah, but this is under NY related inquiries...

Anything that isn’t handed to you directly after you identify yourself isn’t legally binding

My 19 year old DS who is on the spectrum got a questionnaire. I sent it back with a letter from the pediatrician. A few months later , he got one from another court in NYC, again I sent in a letter from the pediatrician. I really hope they don't continue to do this.

this was a number of years ago. maybe 15? I wasn't arrested but I was threatened and it was ugly. I had to appear to explain myself.

I did't have little kids anymore at that point.

Was it a jury summons or questionnaire?

That makes sense. After ignoring a few questionnaires you will eventually get a subpoena to appear in person to fill out the questionnaire. It's annoying and a hassle so easier to avoid the inevitable and just fill it out now. Especially if you have a valid excuse to not serve. Then when you do get the summons you can get out of it.

Someone who ignores a summons can be jailed.

Not necessarily. I know people who ignore every questionnaire for years and haven't had an issue yet. Not saying they never will, but it's more than 2 or 3.
And I got a summons which I had a reason I couldn't go, I lost the summons and sent them an email saying so-they said they need to see a copy of the summons in order to excuse me, so I should just ignore it and wait until I get another one 6 months later (which I don't think I did)

I'm not giving advice on what to do, just stating my experience.

I’ve been ignoring summonses for years. At this point I don’t even open the envelopes. They have no proof I got it how can they arrest me?
