2a) and the law is full of exceptions, prerequisites, superseded, and other qualifiers. So even if you do find a rule you think applies to you, you don’t know that it only applies on a third Thursday of the month in a leap year, after you filed the prerequisite paperwork last year, paid the filing fee, and did a hat dance.

Actually I think he's got a point there. How am I supposed to know all the rules applying to me, if not even experts who study law for years are in agreement about them?

How am I even supposed to know, that there is a law about something?

They don’t care. “Ignorance of the law isn’t an excuse” is what they say.

Right up until it's a police officer that doesn't know the law, of course. Then they can't possibly be expected to know the laws they enforce!

But it’s still our problem.

We don’t know the law? Our problem. Cop doesn’t know the law? Still our problem.

It’s never their problem.
