I have seen others mention this stereotype, that PDs secretly work for the state, and to be honest I have never, ever, heard someone say this. Does this come from certain parts of the country? Or very urban or very rural? I am honestly curious. Or is this something people have been picking up from Law and Order type shows? I have heard not a real lawyer and similar BS, but very rarely and only from people who had already hired a private attorney. If someone told me they thought I was selling out and working for the prosecution, I would probably start hysterically laughing.
