That’s fair, I see it more as civic conscription, but I absolutely think that there needs to be more compensation or other support such as forcing your landlord or bank to scratch the costs of housing for days you’re on jury duty. Police can afford mraps, parole is set to ensure no bed in a prison goes empty, no prison ever closes nor cop’s overtime denied, and yet we can’t find the money to compensate indigent juries or to pay for public defenders. But at the same time I’m one of the jury system’s greatest defenders because it’s one of the few checks on government tyranny we still have.
