@fedbia2003 Fulton, Union, Henry, Dekalb, (All in Georgia) Dade, Westchester, Duval (i think.) Pasco.... (All in Florida's) That's a start.
And the primary job of firefighters in most municipalities is as emergency medicine first responders. Again, what you see on TV or what people assume isn't reality.
It is not that the public defenders want to spend their time doing this, it is that there is no infrastructure to provide them the stability they need to properly defend their client. You can't flame the client who doesn't have a house because you can't even meet with them if they're busy trying to not starve to death.
Hiding behind this is a lack of social workers, a lack of case managers, a lack of so much that public defender's find themselves in the exact same spot that much of major metropolitan law enforcement does, being called upon to do everything except their job because every other bit of supportive infrastructure was removed.
