Ignorance of the statute is a lawfull excuse! There are over 3 million regulations in Canada about everything from how to sell lettuce to how to drive an ATV. The courts always say that ignorance of the law is no excuse; we need to retort that we are ignorant of the statute because you need to be a PHD in statute law just to know how to sell lettuce.
@healthymocha Then someone needs start telling them that "Qualified Immunity Is No Excuse For Not Getting Into Harvard Law".

I never understood why every civilian no matter how old they are must know every single law (thousands of them), yet if you are in law enforcement or an attorney working for the government you are protected by Qualified Immunity and don't need to know the law and can't break it and play dumb. That is just stupid on so many levels.
