There’s a new lawyer commercial on my local TV station. The attorney starts off by saying, We’ve seen more and more cases of law-abiding people who have never had trouble with the law, being accused of a crime that they didn’t know was a crime.
That is what foreigners say after they have sex with 13 year olds and drink and drive.
“We didn’t know it was a crime here”
and some judges will let them off
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” ― Ayn Rand
