I don't think it's stupid and it doesn't bother me. I will say, having grown in up a state with a DMV (Division of Motor Vehicles) instead of the MVA, I still sometimes say/think DMV instead of MVA and get thrown for a loop when someone starts talking about the DMV as a locality.

It's by service date (so one year after you last served), not calendar year. https://mdcourts.gov/sites/default/files/import/juryservice/juryplans/baltimorecity.pdf

I believe you can remain anonymous if you call 911.

What county are you in? Baltimore County says call 911 (I would say that a dog left out in single digits requires immediate intervention) https://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/departments/animal-services/animal-complaints#:~:text=Report%20Animal%20Abuse%20or%20File%20a%20Complaint&text=Call%20911.,on%20an%20animal%20call%20911.&text=To%20file%20an%20animal%20cruelty,police%20intervention%20is%20not%20required.

If animal control/police are not responsive, go bigger. https://www.peta.org/about-peta/contact-peta/#:~:text=If%20an%20animal%20is%20in,Report%20Cruelty%20to%20Animals%20form.

Was the charging table free for customers? From what I can tell, MobileQubes offers this to vendors free, and they get a cut of profits.
