The assumption was that they caught somebody with illegal substances, so
yes they caught the right person.

You don't have to convince me. I just tried to explain what the problem
might be. It is very common for people to not understand this (or that

abstract group outside and above the society and not realize that
everyone of them is human. (Though, I assume nobody would express it
that way).
