Answer #1

Ignorance of the law can be voluntary or involuntary. It is not a reasonable defense. Not knowing the law is simply not a defense for criminal act. It is a legal principle that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law. But the ignorance is not a crime.
