I Had this happen, I just re registered it and stuck it straight back out there!
I’d appeal it and explain you didn’t know and you’ve moved the car. You might get out of it, you might not, but worth a crack.
I would say the new neighbours, who just moved in certainly complained.
I am sorry for your situation.
I hope you can brush yourself off and get your car fixed and back in serviceable condition.
I’d just ask the council, I had a similar issue, told the council I was waiting on xxx and they left me alone.
God that's rough. We have a sizeable backyard but our gates are only big enough for people. The other one is blocked by a shed. I'll see if I can move it somewhere down the road on some gravel. Or would that also be illegal?
Makes it really hard to want to reregister a car if shit hits the fan.
I hadn't even thought of that. I didn't know you had to hand plates back in or cop a solid fine
I need to fix a few things first. It got knocked back but that was the plan until I sell it haha
Thank you. It's just got some leaks that are an easy fix but I hadn't been able to afford to keep fixing all the issues lately
Yeah I was thinking of writing a letter of some sort letting them know my situation
Perhaps swap whatever car is in the driveway with the car that out of rego
I think that would add onto the fact that other people might dob it in still as abandoned
Prob best to hand your plates in, but in that case, you’re best to try to find a way to move it off the road while you’re working on it, or it will draw attention as an abandoned vehicle. In a driveway would work.
How would your new neighbours know its out of rego?
There are two there but I'll swap one over. Hopefully it still runs
Alrighty then, that's fair. I don't know what to do. This shit is stressful
I'll try get it fixed asap
Thank you, will do :)
You can look up any rego on service nsw website
sorry none of my bussiness but i am just curious it seems like you have mutiple cars and two of them you haven't used for awhile and is a money pit. Why are you keeping them?
I think just pay ur fine and take ur time with renewing the rego until you have more than enough money to handle the rego, other slips and money for that car
"I don't know what to do"
Move the unregistered vehicle onto your property.
No you misunderstand. I've not gone into details because I don't care to disclose more than need be to strangers. This unregistered car is old as hell and a money pit in itself. I want to sell it to someone who has the passion to put time into it but selling it unregistered will make it less desired. I've been trying to get it fixed with my dad but a lot has happened in life over the last few months which has made it hard to have much spare time over the weekends. I'm living in a house with 4 adults and we each have a car, plus my unregistered one which as I said, I'm trying to fix to sell and just haven't had the chance. There are two in the driveway and 3 out the front. We don't get in anyone's way as we've spoken to one neighbor and they're happy for us to have one out the front of their house and the other two are out the front of ours with room to spare for our neighbors to park, along with a car in their driveway if they wanted.
I'm very fortunate enough that I can move shit out of the way to make that happen but what if I had no yard or driveway?
You would need to pay to store it somewhere else or get rid of it as-is
Can they place me on the juror role for another 12 months when I was already on it until June?
I am so sick of them hounding me. This is the 4th time.
And here is me, in my mid 30's, never had one. Only one in my family not to get one in the last 10 years too.
“I can tell someone is guilty just by looking at them”
Jury duty finished
Ive been called in 8 times in the past three years. Ive had to proactively close out jobs at work to ensure that i have the time available to do it. Every time, the night before when i call up, they simply say ive been excused.
I literally changed my address to a relatives house in a different court district to stop it happening as it was severly impacting my work, as i just wasnt being given the larger projects as there was an expecation that i would be called up to jury duty again in the short term.
The legal system is so messy. It just feels there is no oversight so they just do whatever.
Did you serve on a jury during that 12 months? If so I imagne the sheriffs would probably be prepared to excuse you.
In my 50s and never been called up.
"I believe in jury nullification." This is the ability of the jury to find the defendant not guilty even if they broke the law because the law or charge is unjust.
It is an error:
"Persons who are for the time being on the jury roll for the district are excluded from selection." Section 12(1) of the NSW Jury Act 1977.
I was put on the roll in 2019, got called for duty March 2020. Well that got cancelled due to Covid, then got called again for June, cancelled again. I eventually got called for a third time in October 2020, the day I was due to go back to work after the second lockdown. I wrote a letter stating that this would be a financial hardship as I had been off work due to Covid, no problem dismissed from duty and haven’t been called since
Yeah the lottery is weird. I'm about to be 30.
Sat on 1 jury.
Been to the courtroom to watch the video 4 times.
Receive the jury roll letter every year.
Receive the letter I've been called on 2-4 times a year.
After 8 years my boss just hand waves the letters and expects I won't need to go.
Did you defer (say no thank you) to the first one? I think you get two goes to defer then the third you have to attend.
Once you actually turn up and are put in the selection process, these letters stop.
- when you turn up you can ask for a shorter one
- when you turn up and are put forward for selection, if the prosecution doesn’t want you for a juror, you are excused and that’s your duty done!
- pretty much everyone turns up with a letter from their employer saying why they can’t do it. They don’t take much notice and will put you forward anyway.
- I got selected 1 month after becoming a citizen :)
Source: have been through the process
Remind me again why tf we still have an office of the sheriff and what the fuck it does?
Yes, you are correct, once every 12 months. There should be a number or website you can contact them on to be excluded from this call up.
Note, if you asked to be excused on the day of your last call up, you go straight back on the roll.
shit im 59 and got my 1st one last week im broken so il get a drs pass fuck sitting in shit chair for hrs
I was not asked for literally decades and in the last 12 months I've had four. I assume once the '12 months' passes, of me being in the sights, I will be right for a while. My boss just sends a letter on my behalf, stating worker shortage.
Ugh!! I have to turn up next Tuesday.
Hounding you? These are just a heads up you have a small chance of being called up, ignore them.
I’ve been called three times in a few years yet I know people in their 60s who have never been called, I do not understand how it can be random. Each time I have to miss work and trek it all the way into the city only to be excused as I can’t do it because of my job.
That's luck of the draw innit
Why not just be biased during the selection process? They will excuse you and choose other people. You can pretend to be race adverse without being full blown racist, that’s not very favourable to a judge. This is something I have had friends do to get out of it. Luckily I’ve never been called on. Touch wood.
1st time I got called up it was for a potentially 26 week trial, ended up [being about this shitbird](https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/newcastle-doctor-found-not-guilty-after-record-breaking-criminal-trial-20180903-p501f6.html). 9 weeks of jury deliberation. I'm a teacher and was on a temporary contract at the time, I would have lost that contract and got out because it would have caused undue harm.
"I have cold and flu symptoms"
Best way to get OFF the roll is to actually serve on a jury. If this is the 4th time then you clearly haven't been on a jury. Just do it.
i was served jury duty 2 days after turning 18 lol
I was early 40s, then, wham. Got about 4 in 2 or 3 years.
My friends served about 4.
I got called up while training to be a police officer so got let off, then got called up when my kid was 8 months and I was primary carer…so got let off. I was told they’d call me back within a year…
"can we convict them now, I've got stuff to do"
"If they didn't do it, they wouldn't be on trial" worked for me
No, but aren’t you only supposed to be on the role for 1 year?
Stuff like this is probably why. I've been on the juror roll three times in the last seven years and I'm thirty. I've known a few people who've been in the same situation as well. So chances are that there's certain people they really like calling up, either because someone at the office decided they like the sound of that name or there's some issue with the algorithm they use for it now.
The other thing I've noticed is that someone who gets called up for jury duty will usually get called up multiple times that year if they don't end up serving. The first time I was on the roll in 2017, I was called up something like six or seven times over the course of the year. So chances are there's a bunch of people on the roll who get called up a lot and then a bunch who only ever get called up maybe once if ever.
I’ve also been through the process. You can’t say no thank you to being placed on the role. This just means you may (probably) be summoned.
If you are summoned, you can apply to be excused for a set number of reasons, but you can’t just say no thank you. They no longer accept work commitments as a reason like they used to except for certain strict circumstance like you are a sole trader.
"The Office of the Sheriff of NSW supports the work of the State's court system, providing security at court complexes; enforcing writs, warrants and property seizure orders; and managing the jury system."
Rocks up at peoples houses to evict them.
You don't need a doctor's pass. You can just say that you don't have reliable transportation and they'll consider that a reasonable excuse. Even if you have a car that works and is registered, they won't drive over to take a look; they'll just take your word for it. It worked every time I did it.
“Ok, sit this one out & we will summon you again imminently”
Well I have been summoned multiple times which were cancelled the day before, and have attended once only to be dismissed. The chances of being picked & serving are pretty slim. For most, it’s just an inconvenience.
It's completely random so I don't think there is a limit.
I think I got about 4 over a 2 or 3 year period. Thankfully, I had kids in school at the time and was dismissed.
You can be summoned multiple times over the 12 months you’re on the call up list.
If you don’t serve on a jury in that 12 month period then you can be immediately placed on the call up list again - theoretically.
If you serve on a jury then you are exempt for 3 years from being placed on the call up list.
In your case, being on the call up list twice is probably just an admin error. Call the sheriff and they’ll fix it pretty easily.
Did you ask to get off serving? E.g. by saying you needed to work etc? If so they let you off the once but then you go on another short list that pretty much guarantees to call you up within 12 months. That's why it's best not to ask to get let off - but instead stay and hope you dont get selected.
I know there’s not supposed to be a limit to how many times you are called, but it seems bizarre to be placed on the role when you’re already on it, when the role is only supposed to run for one year.
Is it illegal??
Maybe you could type that into google instead
Yes, it's illegal. Laws vary state to state.
