Ignorance of the Law is no excuse.

[old man emu]

In this day and age, the maxim that 'ignorance of the Law is no excuse' is not an acceptable element of a prosecution. Why? Simply because the  volume of Laws/Regulations which have been enacted to enable our society to operate. Do you know every single Law/Regulation pertaining to the operation of a motor vehicle? More than likely, not.

 

In the past fortnight Laws/Regulations have been made in two areas relating to firearms and "hate speech". Assuming that they have been assented to by the Crown, they are enforceable. But can you quote them, or even have no 'ignorance' of them? If we must know, in detail, what these laws and regulations cover, then it is incumbent on the governments which made them to provide the necessary information to all persons who would have to comply with them. Maybe a campaign should be started to force our lawmakers to set up the facilities to provide that information.
