yeah I know what you mean. The law is pretty inaccessible to most people. Luckily in SA we have legal services who you can ring and ask them questions, but if you've ever tried to track down the information yourself it can be difficult.
Also there are probably lots of places that don't have services like that.
I think the idea of being arrested for something you didn't know was illegal is bullshit as well. Again, kinda unrelated :P
