The judge is on the side of the cops, so they let the cops say it's true.
OTOH, the it's the jury's job to judge the facts, the laws and the application of the laws.
While the judges may be predisposed to rubber-stamp the actions of the goons in blue, er, cops, it's the jury who is supposed to act as the moral compass to prevent government oppression.
I used to dodge jury duty. Now I've had a change of heart and want desperately to be called to jury duty where I will be the government's worst nightmare. If called, I will serve and will put their every word and deed under an intense microscope. I will presume the accused to be innocent and the government to be corrupt and will vote to convict only if I am convinced beyond all doubt (reasonable doubt are the weasel words the government uses) that the accused is guitly and that the law is just and that the application of it was fair and reasonable.
I know for a fact that the government does not follow the evidence to convict the guity party, but follows their 'hunches' to gather the evidence to convict who they believe committed the crime.
You just have to be very innocuous when it comes to filling out the questionnaire and answering attorneys’ questions.
When I had small children and couldn’t serve I would get a jury summons every year. I haven’t had a summons in years - I have an exemption as an EMT but I never checked that off.
