Yes, when i went to asked why some had different badge styles and i was told that they were suppose to be there before that day.Also,i asked if i not just shown up at all and i was told my the police officer that yes they would of place a warrant on me.It's long process to be turned away 8a-4p but, i did recieve my i think it was like $8 for the WHOLE DAY!-That covered my driving 100 miles all together and paying for parking.So if ur asked have fun bring a good book or games.It's hurry up and wait.

In Georgia, they issue a warrant for your arrest. After being arrested, you have to explain to a judge why you did not respond to your jury summons. You can be fined and/or jailed for failure to do jury duty.
