Did you hear about
this shit? If they city of San Jose gets off on THAT excuse I am going to be sure that if ever break the law in San Jose I am going to use the "I didn't know" excuse and cite their government as precedent.
I also think I may write a letter to the city and let them know that if we can't use that excuse, neither can they!
Another article here To quote the judge in my past labor board hearing: "Ignorance of the law does not mean you don't have to abide by the law".
