I heard this on the radio this morning.  It is apparently a true
story.

A man was arrested and convicted of moonshining even though the cops
didn't find any booze when they legally searched his premises.  What
they did find was a still and all the necessary peripherals to make
whiskey.  The judge was asked by the defendant how he could be found
guilty if the court had no evidence of his wrongdoing; the response was
that having the requisite equipment is enough to convict.

To which the defendant replied, "Then you might as well convict me
of rape, too!"
