SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Public Defender's Office released cellphone videos Wednesday of a deputy public defender who was placed in handcuffs for resisting arrest outside of a courtroom on Tuesday afternoon after she attempted to represent her client while a plainclothes police officer tried to question and photograph him.

Deputy Public Defender Jami Tillotson, who has worked as an attorney with the San Francisco Public Defender's Office for 18 years, was detained and handcuffed around 2 p.m. Tuesday inside the San Francisco Hall of Justice.

San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi said he was outraged and disappointed with how police treated Tillotson.

"She advised her client that he did not have to answer any questions, as is his right," Adachi said.

He said Tillotson refused to let her client be questioned without the presence of his attorney and she was subsequently detained. She is now facing charges of misdemeanor resisting arrest, a charge Adachi said has a maximum penalty of one year in prison.

Everyone just doesn't understand how much more effective the cops could be if they didn't have to work around your "rights".

If you're ever forced to decide between two evils, choose the evil that doesn't walk around with a gun.

Resisting arrest as a stand alone charge is BS.
