18. you and a bunch of other people really need to learn some law

before opening your yaps.

Criminal law is very seldom of the strict liability variety. If a defence of ignorance of fact is not available, that is strict liability, and I very much doubt that this would be the case in this instance.

Mind you, just saying "but your honour, I didn't knoooow" might not be a really credible defence in all cases ...
