In most legal systems ignorance is not a defence (ie. you can't plead innocent to a crime just because you didn't know it was illegal). But my question is, is this fair? Some aspects of law are so technical, normal people can't be expected to know about every little detail. And I'm not just talking about complicated business or financial law here, I'm thinking of laws that affect people's lives such as laws regarding alcohol, drugs and sex.
