A San Francisco deputy public defender was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon at the Hall of Justice after she asked why city police officers were questioning her client outside a courtroom, the public defender’s office said Wednesday.

The following is a comment from my friend who is a lawyer in San Francisco...which really adds some light to this.

Fact is: Public Defender Jeff Adachi has been nailing police on many different fronts.. and because of actions taken by Public Defender Office... six cops were arrested..and so far 3 have been convicted & are headed to prison. Also, that office has been heavily, heavily involved in The Black Lives Matter... and even lawyers had protests on City Hall Steps...and lots of Public Defenders are wearing Black Lives Matter T-Shirts every day...

So, even in San Francisco, we can count on cops being assholes and making up the law as they go along.
