..."However, attorneys in the San Francisco Public Defender's Office have no praise for Bait Car. They are not thrilled about handling cases — of which there are 11 so far — that have been filmed for television. "What this boils down to is crime creation," deputy public defender Fatima Ortiz says.
Her client, an Ohio man visiting the city for the Outside Lands festival, was arrested after he watched two women (both undercover cops) loudly announce they were abandoning the car to exact revenge on its purported owner. They left the car running at a Muni bus stop on Haight Street; he was arrested while on his way to drop off the car at nearby Park police station, she says. "It's crime created for the purposes of entertainment," she adds. "I don't know how any district attorney could in good conscience put this before a jury.""
