I was thinking (oh crap duck!) about the term "ignorance of the law is no excuse" and wondered if there is actually anyone who does know every single law.
Actually, it is a person's responsibility to find out what the laws are when a person enters a country or area or State. I mean, in my country it is legal to have sexual relationships with any consenting person 16 years old or older. When I go to Saudi, it is illegal to have a sexual relationship with anyone who is not my legal wife.
So, yes, "ignorance of the law" is not an excuse. It's a lame excuse for people who are too stupid to even try basic research.
