A Real Criminal

A deputy arrested a young man. The young man was verbally complaining to the officer about the injustice of him being arrested. 

He proclaimed his innocence over and over.

The verbal barrage went on for about fifteen minutes as the deputy drove the young man to jail. 

Finally the young man asked the officer in a loud voice, "So tell me then, what do you do when you catch a real criminal?"

The deputy shook his head sadly and responded, 

"I don't know. All I've ever caught are innocent people."
