Eh, I'd need to read the specific cases to see if there's more to it than that. I'm not saying you're wrong, but things here don't add up. It's been a year or so since my last renewal, so I'd have to dig up the handy little book of laws they give you. As far as someone getting away with something due to "not knowing any better" I think there's got to be more to the defense than that. Ignorance of the law has almost never been a successful defense from prosecution.
