Of course, if law enforcement treated it as a good excuse, every criminal would feign ignorance on laws that aren't "well known".

If a law isn't very well known, there's a decent chance it shouldn't be a law at all.

     My thought exactly. Why have a law if it's so arcane that someone can reasonably claim to not know of it?
